Cultures And Worldviews

Essay Topic

Essay 1 – Module/Week 7:

Topic: Cultures and Worldviews

Ohlschlager & Clinton (2002) note that “trying to be culturally blind or color-blind diminishes the importance of unique differences in the client’s personality and lifestyle” (617). In fact, it is considered unethical to treat every culture and ethnicity in a uniform fashion in counseling. Research now indicates that different approaches and techniques may need to be utilized for each culture.
Using your textbook and 2 research journal articles of your choosing, research a population of your choice and answer the following questions in your essay.

· What are some of the key psychosocial issues for this population?

· What are some of the central therapeutic approaches?

· Would the population you are researching be difficult for you to work with? Are there any psychosocial issues this population exhibits that may evoke an emotional reaction in you?

· Based on your findings what do you believe (and what does research indicate) could be improved for this population in terms of current mental health services?

Explanations of IDEA, IFSPs, IEPs, and 504 plans and how they differ from each other.

/in /by

BASED ON THE READINGS AND THE RUBRIC-

The special education process can be overwhelming for both parents and educators. For example, differentiating between IFSPs, IEPs, and 504s can be difficult. The classroom teacher is a member of the interdisciplinary team, and it is important for the teacher to have a general understanding of IFSPs, IEPs, and 504s. The interdisciplinary team includes the grade level teacher, special education teacher, district representative, school psychologist/specialist, the parents, and the student (when it is appropriate).

For this assignment, create a 12-15 slide digital presentation for an upcoming professional development.

Include the following in the presentation:

  • Explanations of IDEA, IFSPs, IEPs, and 504 plans and how they differ from each other.
  • General processes for special education identification, including Child Find, parent referral, and school referral.
  • Roles family, the school, and/or district faculty and staff play in identification, support, and reporting, as well as the meaning of service delivery.
  • Methods of communication with families regarding the process of special education identification.
  • A title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

Support your presentation with 3-5 scholarly references.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
