Sites for Observations

As we discussed in class there are sites available where you can do your observations that are not in classrooms.  I posted those here to the blog at the beginning of the semester and you can find the detailed posts again the week of September 7th.

Another opportunity is Central Kentucky Riding for Hope.  They have evening sessions and day sessions that you can observe.  The main number you would call to schedule observations is 231-7066.

The Other Sister

Watch the movie, The Other Sister.  We witness Carla's transition to adulthood. Give an example of how the movie portrays each of the following: self-determination (p. 110), learned helplessness (p. 110), and person-centered planning (p. 110).

The Other Sister

Watch the movie, The Other Sister.  Would you classify Carla as having a mild, moderate, severe, or profound disability? Why?  Please identify two (2) supports that Carla would need to function in her environment (there are examples of supports in the movie. You may use these examples or/and identify some on your own). Explain how these supports would assist her, why they are needed, and what environment(s) they would best be used in.

The Other Sister

Watch this movie, The Other Sister.  Consider the aspects of the text that relate to specific types of skills.  On pages 87 & 88, the definition of intellectual disability is discussed. What examples did Carla demonstrate of a conceptual skill, a social skill and a practical skill?  Explain how your example meets the definition of each type of skill.
