We first watched an excellent American video- Integration, Meeting the Challenge.
It was very well done and explained how children with high needs are integrated successfully into the regular classroom setting. A big point with these students is that they all had 100% EPA support. A problem in our board is that students that should qualify for full support, because of documentation, are not receiving it due to budget restraints.
The second part of our class involved switches.We answered questions about uses, goals, criteria etc for switches. The difference between simple (touch)and speciality (eye blink) switches was examined also. I learned that there are several different types of switches: single. dual and multiple to name a few. I did not know the difference between a wafer ( joystick) and latched ( goes off after touching) switches.
The main point of today for me was... 2 main reasons for switches:
1. improve performance
2. task improvement
