Download or read book Behavior Modification in Mental Retardation written by William Gardner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important book, one of the most exciting and promising developments in clinical psychology-behavior modification is applied to the treatment of the mentally retarded, particularly those whose behavior poses difficult problems for institutions. Professor Gardner presents an easily intelligible yet detailed account of the concepts and practices of behavior modification and the underlying learning systems, with numerous clinical illustrations of applying specific techniques to various educational and rehabilitation problems. A thorough discussion of the inadequacies of the psychological evaluation systems normally used in education and rehabilitation is offered, along with an alternative behavior analysis approach that provides a method of translating evaluation data into treatment practices. In explaining behavior analysis, the author takes into account the limited behavioral repertoire of the retarded and environmental deficits. Individual chapters on respondent, operant, and observational learning, and a detailed discussion of a functional analysis approach to evaluation, are included. Proven behavior modification strategies are presented along with a review of related research and clinical studies. The book closes with a detailed description of a research program for the design and testing of sheltered workshop systems for the retarded and emotionally disturbed. The positive approach inherent in the belief that behavior is modifiable-even in the severely limited retarded-is in marked contrast to the pessimism of other systems of therapy, education, and training. Also, the author has concentrated throughout on making the book understandable to clinicians and students with no previous knowledge of behavior modification. Besides serving as a valuable handbook for all treatment personnel, the book can also be used as a basic text for various courses dealing with mental retardation.

In this book, author Jones presents a very complete package of information for the educator of children with severe disabilities. The book includes detailed diagnostic information so that the teacher will understand the physical, mental, social, and educational status of the student. The materials allow the teacher to plan for skill development based on the specific deficits of the child in relation to the skills needed. The main features of this new Second Edition remain to provide a teacher-training text and resource volume for teachers and other professionals serving not only students with deafblindness and severe disabilities but also children of any disability functioning within the sensorimotor stage of development. The new edition also provides, under one cover, theoretical background information, medical information, diagnostic information, and specific instructional information for classroom teachers and related service professionals to use in determining functional abilities for program planning and writing IEPs, collecting data to monitor IEPs, and ideas for hands-on materials that teachers can create and use for instruction in their classrooms. Each chapter begins with a brief outline, discusses background medical information and theory; discusses evaluation, diagnosis, programming, and IEP monitoring; and ends with a summary. Also included are the new research and developments in the field and an expanded view of motor skills. Tables have been reformatted at the back of each chapter. A major addition to this text is the focus on 'Snoezelen' which includes developing a Snoezelen resource room, designing the room with placement of the special materials, and specific ways of using the Snoezelen room and the sensory stimulation materials for relaxation, leisure and enjoyment.

Book excerpt: We know that those fearsome, fire-breathing creatures known as dragons do not truly exist. Yet, in the world of literacy instruction, teachers often feel as though they are battling equally severe and frightening conditions that hinder literacy success. The dragons in the book serve as analogies for dyslexia problems, which often cause stumbling blocks to literacy mastery. Descriptions and ways to differentiate remediation for four types of dyslexia provide insights for veteran teachers as well as novices. SLAYING THE DRAGONS provides practical, down-to-earth information about researched and proven literacy instruction by using a delivery that is both succinct and thorough. In addition to each of the five essential components of reading identified by the National Reading Counsel, other complementary topics result in a combination of tried and true strategies along with new possibilities for 21st century literacy instruction. Slaying the Dragons: 21st Century Literacy considers several causes of literacy failure. Modifications for ELL students, gifted and talented and other exceptionalities show up adjacent to strategies. In addition, technology modifications offer methods of differentiating. Through a source in the text, teachers gain an opportunity to create their own adapted materials. The text format for SLAYING THE DRAGONS accommodates a readers eyes by providing short lines of print, bold text to indicate important vocabulary words and bullets to signify steps or sequence. An electronic option is provided for readers who prefer that system. This reader-friendly collection includes many items not commonly found such as Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, eye tracking, print size, overlays, and candid reasons for literacy failure. SLAYING THE DRAGONS will be an asset for teachers and parents seeking to increase expertise required to promote literacy success for all children.

Download or read book Track And Copy written by Visual Treasure Chest and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing is an essential cognitive skill that enables us to concentrate on a particular task or information while ignoring distractions. It involves selectively allocating our attention and effort towards a specific goal or objective, and it requires mental discipline and self-control. Focusing can be challenging, especially in today's world where we are constantly bombarded with information and distractions from various sources such as social media, emails, and notifications. Research has shown that practicing focusing skills can enhance our cognitive abilities, increase our productivity, and improve our overall well-being. Visual skills are a set of abilities related to the processing and interpretation of visual information. Strong visual abilities are important for many everyday tasks, such as reading, writing, driving, playing sports, and navigating through the environment. Improving visual skills can be achieved through various methods, such as performing eye exercises, for example, tracking moving objects or focusing on objects at different distances, and engaging in activities that require hand-eye coordination, for instance, drawing or copying patterns. Visual skills and focus are closely related because both involve the ability to concentrate and pay attention to visual information. Visual skills, such as visual tracking, visual perception, and visual memory, rely on the ability to focus on and process visual information. Similarly, focus is necessary for the brain to effectively use visual skills to interpret and make sense of visual information. The aim of this book is to help readers improve their ability to focus and develop stronger visual skills. The workbook contains exercises at three different levels, each designed to challenge and improve the reader's visual skills and focus. The tasks involve tracking and copying a given pattern, which requires the reader to pay close attention to the details and use their visual skills to accurately reproduce the pattern. The exercises are structured in a way that gradually increases in difficulty as the reader progresses through the levels. The execution of every exercise requires more attention and concentration as the level increases, which helps to build and improve the reader's ability to focus. This book can be a helpful resource for anyone looking to improve their focus and visual skills, regardless of age. It is also a useful tool for teachers, therapists, tutors, and parents who support patients or students in developing and mastering visual skills and focusing.
