IEP Question

I am having trouble with the IEP question on the final, I cannot seem to locate the information for it in the book, can anyone help me with figuring out where I can get the info? No, I am not asking for the answer, just some help to come to the answer myself! Thanks in advance!! :)
I found this and thought it was interesting even if you're already finished with this class.

A much needed Break!

Just wanted to say I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe break! I know for me it is much needed, and I get the opportunity to head down to Florida for a week of it, so for that I am very thankful! Richmond can definitely drive a person crazy sometimes! I have enjoyed this class and getting to know all of you, and making some new friends :) As a 5th year going through college, I will tell you that making connections with people in your classes and programs helps tremendously in the long run, and it helps to have those people to walk through the process with you!

Extra Credit - Bonus Points

I want to make sure folks are aware that I've included an opportunity for BONUS points on the Final that I did not include in the Study Guide.  This is about the blog and will give me some important feedback I am seeking.  As it is meant for your reflection and to assist me in improve my teaching - it is obviously only for extra credit and bonus points :-)

SO inspiring!

We watched this video in one of my other SED classes and it brought tears to my eyes. It is beyond touching and inspiring and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did!

Final Exam Study Guide?

Does anyone know if Ms. White has posted the study guide yet? I thought in class she said she would post one or send us an email with one on Wed. I just wanted to check and make sure I didn't miss an email or post.

ASL

Hey Adam,

In class you talked about your daughter wanting to learn ASL. I don't know of classes at the Lexington Public Library and I looked on their event calendar and found nothing. However, ASL is my minor and there are many websites out there that are very helpful.

http://www.lifeprint.com/ Life print is an amazing website to use. On the website a guy has created lessons that are similar to my ASL 101, 102, and 202 textbooks. You could use the website and teacher her a lesson everyday.

http://www.aslpro.com/ ASL pro is another good website but it is more of a dictionary.

Also every first and third Friday of the month deaf and hard of hearing people from Lexington all come together and meet at the Fayette mall food court to socialize. EKU students are always coming to these event. Next time I go to the mall I can ask someone if they know of any classes that are provided to teach ASL. I can also ask one of my ASL professors for you.

I think the best thing to do is take an ASL class at EKU and then just reteach your daughter when you get home that way you are both learning a new language and teaching her helps you remember the language. ASL is a beautiful language I would encourage everyone to learn it because as a special education teacher you can use it to communicate obviously with Deaf and hard of hearing students but you can also use it to communicate with nonverbal autistic children or any student that can't communicate verbally. Hope this helps you. :)
It was a great end to a great semester of classes. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas break. Good luck on finals and try not to stress too much.
And it's finished! (: 
The last project for SED260 is completed! 



WELCOME, it is now officially Dead Week. 
The one week of the semester where we completely shut down... and wonder when we learned half the stuff that is said to be on the final. (: 



Good luck studying, and try to stay as calm and collective as possible! You all will do great! Have faith, and just believe!

House Rules by Jodi Picoult

This is a great book! It's about a teenage boy that gets caught up in a murder investigation. The catch is that Jacob, the boy, has Asperger's syndrome and finds it impossible to lie or expand upon anything but the facts to prove himself innocent. Each chapter is told from the first person perspective of either Jacob, his mother, his younger brother, or someone associated with the investigation. Jodi Picoult does a lot of research for her books, and she manages to bring out both the positive and negative sides of Autism in a really touching way. Anyway, I thought this would make a great present for someone, or maybe a great addition to your own Christmas list. :)
