My Chosen Topic:
I have chosen the topic special needs children with a disability, but my subtopic would be ways in which parent(s) can distinguish when the caregiver(s) or other people has abused or neglected the child will be the focus of my simulations in the coming weeks.
As you all already know from the previous paragraph that the chosen topic for the simulation is special needs children with a disability. The reason why I chose it is because my heart goes out to these children and their families when it comes to abusing and neglecting an innocent child who did not ask to come into this world. It can have effect on the family as well because not all the time the parent(s) or caregiver(s) are aware of what is really happen to the child/children because they might be caught up with working and trying to provide the best they can with the economy being slow.
My personal experience with this simulation process is that I have been around single parents who are having a hard time rearing their child with special needs and who has a disability due to the fact their health/medical care for all the surgeries that they through are too expensive.
The insight that I have gained so far from constructing the research chart, and from any other element of this course is that my definition of a word might mean different, but can be used in many ways. Also, it has improved and expanded my vocabulary so that now when these words are used I want be looking dumb-found.
To all my colleagues if you all have any advice or insight that might help me with this process and/or with this course, please feel free to share resources if you can with me and I will do the same as well. Thank you all in advance!
I love the topic you chose to research. I am certified in Special Education and I know I have heard some horrible stories about the children I have worked with. Having a special needs child can be stressful at times I am sure but that is no reason to neglect or abuse that child. I also improved my vocabulary with our assignment for this week. I think it was a great way to recap the chapter we read. I wish you the best in this course and with your research project. If there is anything I can help you with or resources, I will be sure to send them your way.
ReplyDeleteWonderful topic near and dear to my heart. As a previous child abuse investigator, children with disabilities were the most vulnerable. This class will be a huge learning experience for me with new vocabulary and techniques to research topics.
