- When we grow up many of us would like to have children, but what would happen if one of our children was born with a learning disability? How would you change your life to help your child?
- How would you change your life to help your child?
- : So when I grow up I would like to be a teacher and it was not until 11th grade that I truly realized what I wanted to teach. As 11th grade happened my Uncle Aris received an award for helping the Easter Seals Organization in New York. This caused me to see that children with special needs need a teacher too. This is why I choose my topic.
- The Easter Seals Organization is one that does not focus on the fund raising aspect of the disease, but it focuses on helping the child and the family with this disadvantage. As a main focus for Easter Seals, they want to help the school transition. One of the main focuses is to help children with autism.
- Show Video to explain the symptoms and how a family sees the starting signs of autism
- THESIS: THE EASTER SEALS ORGANIZATION IS ABLE TO HELP CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES ADJUST TO THE WORLD IN A POSITIVE WAY BY ALLOWING THEM THE HELP THEY NEED IN SCHOOL AND BY HELPING OUT EACH INDIVIDUAL EMOTIONALLY.
- Easter Seals preschools have been created in order to help prepare autism spectrum diseases children for elementary school. Build on a child’s strengths Offer a predictable schedule Teaching a task with simple steps Keep a child engaged with highly structured activities Regular reinforcement of behavior
- Occupational, hearing, and speech therapy help the child get adjusted with fine motor skills that many children with autism are unable to do. The preschool promotes a specialized approach to help preschoolers prepare to enter into the elementary school system. This includes social skills, independent living skills, and personal responsibility.
- When it comes to the child's interaction with others, the Easter Seals schools also encourage making friends, which sometimes will last a life time. This helps the children get ready for school because many autistic children are resistant to make new friends while in school because they do not always have the social skills needed to make new friends.
- When it comes to elementary schools, the Easter Seals organization provides help to many of the children in schools. They have early intervention programs and inclusive after school care for parents who are unable to keep their children in the early beginnings schools.
- Originally I wanted to walk in the Philadelphia Walk with Me fund raiser, but due to lack of knowledge in when it was occurring I was unable to attend and therefore that project had not worked out.
- As a second project I wanted to do was a football clinic for children so that they could engage with others, and meet new friends. This did not work out due to not planning in time before it got too cold and the football team still being in season. So this also did not work out.
- As my project I volunteered in an Early Beginnings School, where I went around to different classrooms and saw the children in their school setting. Some of these children were not only autistic but were also poor and many were from families with one parent or a drug or alcohol addicted parent.
- For some of these children they have all odds against them, not only are they autistic but they also have to deal with extreme poverty. So therefore for many of the children who attend this Easter Seals school in the Bronx, this is their first meal of the day. Also, many of them do not speak English so many of the teachers who work at these schools have to speak both English and Spanish.
- In this classroom there were about 8 children, with 3 teachers. This is due to the fact that many of these children need one on one attention in order to learn anything.
- In this classroom these children were building with blocks so that they could work on their motor skills, because as a symptom of autism many do not have fine motor skills. So their teachers had them building with linkys to help their hand muscles learn how to move.
- Therefore in conclusion, the Easter Seals organization helps children when it comes to adjusting to their lives/ Also, the Easter Seals organization helps out each individual with the one on one attention that they receive in the classroom.
