Models of Communication in the Education of Students with Severe Learning Difficulties

Abstract

In Colleges of Further Education communication between tutors and students or tutors and the parents of students is not generally a problem. However, when the students have severe learning difficulties communication between tutors and parents takes on a different meaning and significance. This paper begins by examining models which describe this relationship before reporting a qualitative study of tutor/parent communication. The study found that the college rhetoric of client centredness was not matched by practice, and more importantly, identified unaddressed issues relating to the status of the student. In order to resolve these difficulties an alternative model is outlined.

Parents and Education for Severe Learning Difficulties

Over the last 20 years, research has taken an increasing interest in the roles of parents in the education of children with severe learning difficulties. Aspects of these findings which portray the relationships between parents and the children's schools are taken from a review of different aspects of parental roles by Ian Wells, senior research officer with the Northern Ireland Council for Educational Research, Belfast.     

论学习困难学生行为干预策略

学习困难学生的行为问题是与其学习问题相伴而生的,他们的认知障碍、动机障碍是与其行为障碍密切联系的。本文讨论三类课堂行为问题干预策略：（1）学习退避行为,学习退避行为实质上是习得性无能的表现,干预重点是改善其不良的自我概念,增强其自信心,引导其正确对待失败,克服自卑,同时要改变其消极的归因倾向。（2）注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）,相当部分的学习困难学生伴有注意缺陷多动障碍。对注意缺陷多动障碍的干预策略,一般有药物干预和心理社会干预。医院主要采取药物干预,而学校和家庭主要采用心理社会干预。心理社会干预包括：认知行为干预、父母训练、感觉统合训练等。（3）攻击性行为干预可以采用认知行为干预和内观训练。

Prevention and Intervention of Writing Difficulties for Students with Learning Disabilities

This paper presents six principles designed to prevent writing difficulties as well as to build writing skills: (a) providing effective writing instruction, (b) tailoring instruction to meet the individual needs, (c) intervening early, (d) expecting that each child will learn to write, (e) identifying and addressing roadblocks to writing, and (f) employing technologies. Many students with LD experience difficulties mastering the process of writing. We examine how schools can help these children become skilled writers. Six principles designed to prevent as well as alleviate writing difficulties are presented. These include providing effective writing instruction, tailoring writing instruction to meet each child’s needs, intervening early to provide additional assistance, expecting that each child will learn to write, identifying and addressing academic and nonacademic roadblocks to writing, and deploying technological tools that improve writing performance.

Pupils with Severe Learning Difficulties as Personal Target Setters

Richard Rose, Senior Lecturer at University College, Northampton, and Will Fletcher and Gaynor Goodwin, Watling View School, St Albans, argue that although many schools have attempted to enable pupils with special educational needs to play an active part in their own planning procedures and assessment, few have identified and analysed the skills required by both pupils and teachers. Theydescribe a one-year small-scale action-research project, in a school for children with severe learning difficulties, which resulted in the development of procedures for the assessment of 'pupil readiness' for full involvement in the target-setting process.

Primary School Children's Understanding of Severe Learning Difficulties

This paper reports two studies in which non‐handicapped (NH) children (7‐ and 11‐year‐olds) were interviewed about their understanding of severe learning difficulties (SLD). The NH children, 19 7‐year‐olds and 32 11‐year‐olds, had been involved in a year of fortnightly or weekly (respectively) link sessions with children with SLD. The NH children's understanding of SLD can be interpreted in terms of three conceptual changes, identified by Katz (1982) and Aboud (1988), occurring during the primary school years. These changes are: a shift in focus from concrete to abstract characteristics of children with SLD; increasing recognition of intra‐SLD group differences and inter (mainstream‐SLD) group similarities; and acknowledgement of the irrevocability of the key cues of SLD. These changes are discussed in the broader context of the development of social cognition.
