 CONCLUSION of MY PROJECT REPORT

I have taken ........... periods each of the intervention classes intended in reading /writing /calculations .....................................................

CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS IN MY PROJECT REPORT

 This project on Interventions and Management of Learning Disorders was done as part of partial fulfilment of  the DMLD course conducted by the State Resource Centre ,Kerala .

Students with learning and attention difficulties benefit from having an IEP. An IEP is a document describing the specific services required by a particular student .It is based on a thorough assessment of a student’s needs that affect their ability to learn and to demonstrate learning. IEP becomes relevant in this course as the practical aspect of evaluation

Most of the objectives of the project stand  realised to the maximum . The necessary skills and techniques in the process of preparing an IEP after assessment is developed .

* I was able to find out the accommodations and modifications possible to help the child and how far they have been effective in their learning  and  to find out the development and growth needs

**Moreover  I was able to compare the two tools designed by SRC for assessment and found out  that the IEPs prepared based on them  have more similarities than differences.

 * I was also able to observe whether the IEP have been effective in fulfilling the special needs of the children and found out that  desired changes have begun occurring in the child’s  style of learning.

*I also realise that this project has helped me  to become more effective in the management of Learning Disorders.

Findings

 (1)   This project helped me to compare the two tools  prepared by SRC IN 2019 and 2022 .Both tools were used in this case before preparing the IEP.

The following are the findings.

(a)  Both tools are effective in identifying the areas of learning issues.

(b)  The new tool ( SRC 2022) helps to identify the issues in visual/auditory discrimination where as the second tool can not identify these areas.Thus the new tool appears more scientific than the first one.

(c)  The first tool can not yield any score whereas the second tool yields scores in many areas

(d)   The first tool effectively checks the child’s ability to think , perceive and weave out imaginary responses where as the new tool does not.

(e)   THE child's emotional level , gross and fine motor skills are not evaluated in the second tool.

 

 (2)  The project helped me to analyse the pros and cons of an I E P .

The following are the findings.

(1)Unlearning is more difficult than learning. Educators who PREPARE AN IEP AND EXECUTE IT should be thoroughly trained in various concepts and activities of  phonetics like IDENTIFYING  short vowels and long vowels ;syllables,syllabication,preparing ikonin boxes and so on.(Please refer to the intervention plan on reading , lesson 5;page no…………..)

 

(2) Preparing IEP with intervention plan is absolutely inevitable for a fair and appropriate intervention as unlearning is more difficult than learning in the case of students with LD.

(3)Preparing IEP with intervention plan makes the trainee try to apply the theories of language learning/maths in every activity which will make the intervention logical and hence of maximum effect.

(4)Preparing IEP with intervention plans makes the trainee conscious of the learning style(s) of the child and hence every activity in the class will be designed using various materials according to this plan which will be highly comfortable to the child and thus ensures maximum learning.

(5)The success of an IEP depends upon the collective cooperation of the child, parent , teachers at school who are to provide the required accommodations and modifications in time and hence IEP MEETINGS should be conducted at least twice a year.

(6)A session of  specific analysis (after every assessment ) using suitable materials like a sheet of shuffled  letters/ sight words/numbers   in shuffled order is necessary for identifying exactly which letters/words/numbers  the child can write /read/recognise  .Then only an effective IEP can be realised.

(7)Management of Developmental needs of the child ,Management of Child health and school safety are also TWO important factors which affects the learning patterns of the child and hence should be given due importance in an IEP.

(8) The fact that LD SHOULD BE CONFIRMED only if the observed issues persist even after six months of interventions and with a learning gap of 3 years should be  borne in mind while preparing an IEP and setting the dates of evaluation and reviews.

(9) Preparing Intervention plan is the toughest but the most important part of the IEP and hence  EACH TRAINEE should be given a thorough training in preparing it based on the learning styles, language theories like phoneme awareness , phonological awareness ; designing the  physical  structure of the period with stages like motivation , ice breaking, development , and application of new knowledge ; giving due importance to levels of learning like knowledge ,understanding , appreciation . The blending of all these factors requires an exclusive training in preparing lesson plans suited to the child and the needs of managing disabilities and hence a separate module should be prepared for training in this aspect which could be enriched with the training for evolving  the UDL(Universal Design of learning).

ANSWERS TO VIVA QNS

TP QNS FROM EXPERT 1 

1.The forgetting curve shows how information or knowledge stored within the brain is lost over time if the individual makes no attempt to retain it. A related concept is the strength of memory, which refers to the durability that memory traces in the brain; the stronger the memory, the longer a person call recall it for.

********************************************************************

2.Confabulation refers to the production or creation of false or erroneous memories without the intent to deceive, sometimes called "honest lying"  Alternatively, confabulation is a falsification of memory by a person who, believes he or she is genuinely communicating truthful memories . These false memories may consist of exaggerations of actual events, inserting memories of one event into another time or place, recalling an older memory but believing it took place more recently, filling in gaps in memory, or the creation of a new memory of an event that never occurred . While some confabulated memories are easier to identify as false, in other cases, the confabulated memory may be so personal and unique, only a corroborating witness like a family member or close friend may be able to confirm the veracity of the memory. Confabulation also occurs when an individual unintentionally mistakes imagined events as actual memories . Confabulation has been known to occur among clients with brain damage, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), traumatic-brain injury (TBI), and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS). As such, it is imperative for mental health professionals to be familiar with confabulation because of the negative impact it can have on screening, assessment, intake, and treatment planning processes.

The term confabulation made its first appearance in the medical literature in the early 1900s . Sergei Sergeievich Korsakoff, a Russian psychiatrist, noted that alcoholic patients were more likely to display memory deficits referred to as "pseudo-reminiscences, illusions of memory, or falsifications of memory", ultimately called confabulation . Other prominent psychiatrists, such as Emil Kraepelin and Karl Bonhoeffer, began to document cases of confabulation in patients with dementia, senility, and brain trauma . In such cases, patients can significantly alter important details of memory or generate new memories of events that never took place. However, what is often more problematic is that clients will act on their confabulations, which means their behavior is based on false recall.

5. (A)The NIMHANS Index for Specific Learning Disabilities ( SLD). NIMHANS battery includes tests in two levels – Level I for children in the age group of 5–7 and Level II for 8–12 years.

 (B)Dyslexia Assessment for Languages of India (acronymed DALI),

(C) PRAHAST BY NCERT

6.The index comprises ofthe following tests. a) Attention (number cancellation) b) Language Test (reading, writing, spelling and comprehension) c) Arithmetic (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division and Fractions) d) Visuo motor skills ( The Bender Gestalt test and the developmental test ofVisuoMotor Integration) e) Memory( Auditory and Visual)

7.(A)CRITERIA FOR identification of SLD

 DSM-5-(1)ആറു മാസം പരിശീലനം കൊടുത്തിട്ടും പഠന നേട്ടം കൈവരിക്കാതെയിരിക്കൽ ;

(2) വായന ,എഴുത്തു നിലവാരം 5 വയസ്സിനു താഴെയുള്ളവരുടേതിന് തുല്യമാകൽ ;

(3) പ്രശ്‌നം തുടങ്ങിയ പ്രായം സ്‌കൂളിംഗ് പ്രായം ആയിരിക്കണം ;

(4) ബുദ്ധി വൈകല്യം I D / developmental, neurological, sensory (vision or hearing), or motor disordersഅല്ല എന്നുറപ്പാക്കൽ 

According to DSM-5, the diagnosis of a specific learning disorder includes the following symptoms:

1.

Persistent difficulties in reading, writing, arithmetic, or mathematical reasoning skills during formal years of schooling. Symptoms may include inaccurate or slow and effortful reading, poor written expression that lacks clarity, difficulties remembering number facts, or inaccurate mathematical reasoning.

2.

Current academic skills must be well below the average range of scores in culturally and linguistically appropriate tests of reading, writing, or mathematics. Accordingly, a person who is dyslexic must read with great effort and not in the same manner as those who are typical readers.

3.

Learning difficulties begin during the school-age years.

4.

The individual's difficulties must not be better explained by developmental, neurological, sensory (vision or hearing), or motor disorders and must significantly interfere with academic achievement, occupational performance, or activities of daily living 

What is criterion A for SLD?

Criterion A refers to the key characteristics of SLD (at least one of six symptoms of learning difficulties that have persisted for at least 6 months despite the provision of extra help or targeted instruction).
DSM-4 : “when the individual's achievement on individually administered standardized tests is substantially below that expected for age, schooling, and level of intelligence”
6(B)Have you noticed any recent change IN THE CRITERIA FOR LD ?
RPWD ACT -2016 : NO ASSESSMENT BEFORE 8 YEARS
8.acronyms and acrostics. ; association. ;chunking.;method of loci.;songs and rhymes
9.Working memory is an executive function that plays a big role in how we process, use and remember information on a daily basis. Remembering a phone number, recalling directions, or writing an essay are all tasks that use working memory.
-storing and retrieving single digit numbers in subtractions like 12-7.
-Dr Adbrizi explains that when children practise tasks like mental arithmetic, it becomes automatic and unconscious, freeing up space in the working memory for more complex calculations. (https://komodomath.com/)

TO EXPERT 2 :
1..Changes in DSM-5 when compared to DSM- 4 ?
1.DSM-IV- did not use a broad category of LD; instead it included several diagnoses specific to impairments in reading, mathematics, and written expression ;

DSM-5 has taken a different approach to LDs by broadening the category into a single overall diagnosis.It does not limit the diagnosis to reading, math, or written expression but more generally describes problems in achieved academic skills with the potential for specification of the more traditional areas

2.In DSM-IV-TR, LD is diagnosed “when the individual's achievement on individually administered standardized tests is substantially below that expected for age, schooling, and level of intelligence” ;

DSM 5 : A diagnosis is made based on a clinical review of an individual's history, teacher reports and academic records, and responses to interventions. Difficulties must be persistent, scores must be well below the range on appropriate measures, and the problems cannot be better explained by other disorders. A significant interference in achievement, occupation, or activities of daily living must be present.

3.The DSM-IV-TR approach recognizes three explicitly defined diagnostic categories: reading disorders, mathematics disorders, and disorders of written expression. A residual category, learning disabilities not otherwise specified, is also provided. 

4.The DSM-IV approach, now more than 20 years old, was based on methods that relied on discrepancy scores; that is, a learning difficulty was said to exist in a particular area such as reading when the scores in that particular area were significantly below what would be expected judging by the individual's overall cognitive ability. The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, definition of these conditions is rather similar but includes an explicit requirement that the school environment is appropriate to the child's ability to learn the skill. Sensory deficits can be present, although the additional learning difficulty is diagnosed only when the achievement delays are even greater than would be expected.
