ReplyDeletea. In a child perception, they view the things that are happening to them like a simple thing. Since as a child you don't see something like an adult do. Like for example, if a child wants something he just get it or ask his parents for him to have it. But if an adult wants something, he needs to work and earn money for him to have it. What a child needs is very simple form what an adult might need. As we can observed, a child is very much happy with even a small thing that you gave to him. But if an adult wants something, then what you are able to give him is far different from what he wants he might feel disappointed and he might get angry at you instead of appreciating it.
ReplyDeleteb. Dealing with people who have ADHD needs a lot of patience and understanding. If I may have a student who is suspected to have a case like these, I will treat him in a way that he may not feel that he is not suffering from a disorder. Although, I will give much attention to him other than the others. Also, I teach my class in a way that the student may not feel bored so that he may maintain his attention in what we are doing. Of course, I will talk to our school guidance counselor for me to know the best thing that I can do as I deal with him and for them to know the development of the child.
c. Schools and especially teachers have a great role in molding an individual either a normal one or on who is suffering from disabilities. The school must have a curriculum that is for students who are special child or who is suffering from developmental disabilities. It is one way for them to help themselves as they go to their school. They must be taught in a way that is easy for them so that they be be able to enjoy what they are doing. As teachers, they must bring with them a lot of patience, care and love for their students with special needs. The students must feel that they are not pressured and that they are just enjoying themselves as they are learning.
a. The child's visual, auditory, taste and smell perception is different from because the child's is still developing its senses while in the adults are already developed. The don't have yet that broad knowledge to interpret whatever he feels, see, smell, hear and tastes.
ReplyDeleteb. As a teacher, I will observe first the behavior of my student. I will talk to the parents of that student if the behavior he/she show in the classroom are the same when he/she is at home. Before that I will give some task to know if he can finish that task. I will also talk to the student if he have a problem. And then I will consult to the doctor or nurse in the school if he is possible of having ADHD.
c. Teachers and school can help the child with disabilities by understanding and knowing what developmental disabilities the child has. For every developmental disabilities there is a corresponding management that the teachers and schools may use to help the child.
Mental Retardation - teachers should have patience to teach the child. Visual Impairment - teachers should place the student with nearsighted at the front row and place the child with farsighted at back. The teacher should use large-type materials. Hearing Impairment - The schools should provide teachers who know how to use sign language. The teachers should have good communication. Cerebral Palsy - the child need to be assisted. Language Problem - teachers should use uncommon words. Learning Disabilities - simplify the lesson and every instructions. ADHD - teachers should not give challenging task.
2a. Perception means how we interpret or recognize the things around us through our senses. Children's perception differs from adults' in a way that the former's senses are not well developed and the latter's are already developed. Since the brain exerts great influence in our behavior including perception, children's brain does not fully function until they become adult. Hence, we can expect that their ability to perceive things (especially if they are exposed to situations that require higher level of thinking) will not be one hundred percent accurate. Children usually are concrete thinkers. They can only perceive the things around them as they are while adults have the ability to relate what they see with their previous experiences.
ReplyDelete2b. As a teacher, if I suspect that a child has ADHD, the first thing that I am going to do is to talk to his/her parents or caregivers informing that their child has manifestations of ADHD so that they will be aware of their child's situation. If they are aware of their child's situation, they will likely seek help from the experts so that they will know how to manage their child's condition. As a teacher, I need to be very patient and understanding if I will have this kind of pupil. Patience and understanding their condition will lead me to successfully provide them a very conducive learning environment with the goal of developing their potentials and not emphasizing the negative consequences of their condition.
2c. I think the key to successfully enhance the learning of children with disabilities in school setting is that teachers and school administrators must first examine their feelings towards these children so that later on this will lead to acceptance and understanding of these children with disabilities. Teachers and school administrators should possess these two so that it will be easier for them to provide these children with an environment that promotes love and care vital in their learning. In doing so, they are more likely to relate with these students. Since they can relate with these students, they can easily devise learning strategies that would foster learning and fun to these types of learners and they will not be at risk in experiencing BURN OUT. Teachers should always use simple words to understand when teaching children with disabilities.
a:To start with the simplest fact the much smaller physical body of the child affects his perception of the environment.The world in which the child lives is narrower in scope than that of the adult.With the child's more restricted span of what can be taken in at one time,the simultaneous perception of parts and wholes is limited.Expressive and power qualities of objects and events seem to play a relatively greater role in the child's perceptions than in the adult's.
ReplyDeleteb:As a teacher, Should understand the characteristics of attention deficit disorder, for hyperactivity children's request, do not treat as normal children strictly. Only to ask their hyperactivity behavior can be controlled in a not too range. To this kind of children should be gradually cultivate the meditation habit of attention. For this kind of children should train their from regular habits. Cultivate their self-esteem and self-confidence.
c:For the developmentally disabled children, Schools and teachers should give these children life, learning and psychological care and help. We are suitable for the children learning method and way of life, let them better adapt to the school and the society.
A.It is no secret that children see things completely different than us adults. Kids were unable to understand everything around them, and they sometimes make up stories to describe some situations in their lives like at school or even with other stuff. I can still remember when I was a kid and whenever I need to go to a dentist or doctor, I felt like they were going to do something horrible to me. Oh well unsure if you feel the same, but technically that’s how I feel.
ReplyDeleteScientists at University College London have found that children younger than 12 do not combine different sensory information to make sense of the world as adults do. This does not only apply to combining different senses, such as vision and sound, but also to the different information the brain receives when looking at a scene with one eye compared to both eyes. And this simply implies that children's experience of the visual world is very different to that of adults.
B.As a teacher, I suspect that the child ahs ADHD that first thing I’ll do is to talk to their parents. I’ll let them know the reason on why I was suspecting their child of having it. Also I’ll make sure that they won’t be scared and won’t feel terrible. Since ADHD is not a disease that we must be frightened of. They may need more attention and care, but parents must never be scared of giving it. Definitely we must let them aware of what an ADHD is. Discuss all the details and advised them to seek specialist who could help their child.
C.Teacher and School can help a child who has developmental disabilities by giving them the right program and nourish them with sufficient learning match on their capability. School must never forget to implement routine psychological assessment to students. Also they need to make sure that all teachers are equipped with sufficient knowledge regarding developmental difficulty so they will be able to give proper learning to student.

ReplyDelete2a. Child perception is different from us as adult, our senses is fully develop for us to differ reality from ideal. as for children the thing happen around them is bound to what they believe and what they want to believe but for an adult we tend to identify more rational on our perception. A child perception is limited depends on they experience and environment it may be also bound to fantasy sometimes, to an adult when the interpret things around them the often consult there experience and make a reasoning depend on there environment.
2b.If a student is of mine is suspected to has ADHD I will consult a physician or person with experties on ADHD and take an advice and take some action on behavioral management on ADHD student.
2c. SPED is the answer for the student with developmental disabilities. School and Teacher will design and develop a proper teaching methods & curriculum with the guidance of the physicians. Teachers training and capabilities is essential.
a.) Due to his small size, everything is imposing to a child. What is ordinary in size to an adult can seems to be huge to a child. He also perceives objects as heavier than adults do. The stretch of space and time is also narrower to a child. He sees the extent of the world smaller and length of time shorter than adults do. A child has less objectivity in the perception of size at a distance from him. He perceives a faraway object as the same size as when near him. He may not also see the detailed feature of things and see only the feature as a whole. The expressive qualities of an object are greater in the perception of a child. In my opinion, it is probably the reason why a child is afraid of so many things. He sees things, even an inanimate object with life, feelings and intentions. Since the physical and motor development of a child is not yet fully developed, he has different perception from adult.
ReplyDeleteb.) Early identification of ADHD is crucial to the treatment of the child. As a teacher, if I suspect that a child has ADHD I will immediately talk to the school’s doctor, then if my observation is validated, I will talk to the child’s parents or guardians. I will record the child’s behavior and academic performance to help in the assessment and diagnosis.
It is important for a teacher to know the symptoms of ADHD. If a child has poor school performance, inattentive, restless, and impulsive it might be symptoms of ADHD. I should not judge or brand the child negatively. Instead, I should protect the child from physical, verbal & psychological abuse by classmates and adults who might misunderstand him. It is also necessary for me to further observe the child as my input can be crucial in the child’s diagnosis.
c.) The teachers and school can help a child who has developmental disabilities by cooperating with the parents or guardians and medical team. A teacher is sometimes included in the team that gathers developmental status about the child. Due to his constant interaction with the child, he can also help in the early identification or detection of a child disability.
Treatment of some developmental disabilities (ex: language and learning disability) is more effective when it is integrated with the child’s educational program, thus the help of classroom teacher is necessary. There are developmental disabilities, like learning disability and mental retardation, that cannot be cured, but treatment is still needed for the child to reach his fullest potential. The school, particularly the teacher can help carry out practice exercises to stimulate development. A teacher can teach a child with developmental disability more effectively through special method of teaching and learning activities most suited to the child.

ReplyDeleteA. There’s really a difference on how we perceive things as an adult and as a child. I remember when I was a kid; I see things as easy, simple and trouble-free, that if I want something then I can get it easily because my parents will provide it to me in just an instant. And if they don’t, I will cry and let them see what they got. (Just kidding! ) But it’s correct, isn’t? Children do not see things in complicated ways. All that they know is to play, have fun with their peers and to study colors and basic comprehension. Unlike the adults which has matured way of thinking. We see things in a right manner which we can distinguish what is better for us, what things that can benefit us in the future and which will make sense for our living. These can give us the difference on how a child's perception different from an adult. As we get older, we learned from our life experiences which make us strong and inspire as we engage ourselves in everyday living.
ReplyDeleteB. Children and teens with ADHD behavior problems react poorly under these circumstances because they usually have problems with executive thinking when their ADHD is not properly treated. They don’t automatically have one of those “adult ah ha moments” and suddenly realize that what is being said wasn’t intended to degrade them or make them inferior or less of a person emotionally or physically [1]. As a teacher, If I suspect that a child has an ADHD, I will give my 100% patience to him/her and I will help him/her succeed to overcome his emotional and educational needs so he/she would not feel inferior with his/her colleagues. By this, it will help to boost the self esteem of a child experiencing ADHD.
C. Treatment for children wil developmental disabilities isn’t just about taking medication. There are many other effective treatments that can help kids with developmental disabilities improve their ability to pay attention, control impulsive behavior, and curb hyperactivity. Nutritious meals, play and exercise, and learning better social skills are all part of a balanced treatment plan that can improve performance at school, improve your child’s relationships with others, and decrease stress and frustration [2]. A teacher can help his student with ADHD by giving his persistence in any situation. A teacher must have a broader view on handling a child with developmental disabilities so that he would not end up as a complainant to the child experiencing ADHD but rather, teaching and giving the best care for them, instead. Aside from that, schools should also serve as an instrument for them so that they (children with developmental disabilities) would be able to develop their talent and skills. A school should be their best environment for their progress.

A. A child’s penetration is keener and a child’s judgment is fairer, than most parents imagine, it is true that a child’s knowledge is limited, and that therefore he can be easily turned aside from inquiry into a real of facts with which he is quite unacquainted. Children’s perception is simpler and quite different on how they see things. For example, they assume that when it rains, it is raining all over the world also. They only think of, are the basics like to eat, sleep and play. However, as children grow they mature, and acquired more knowledge and experiences. Adults, considering to perceiving things look differently than children do. They already have very different ideas to such things which are about what is more important to learn. Children don’t realize complications with their actions while adults are more directly related in fulfilling their role as responsible individuals.
ReplyDeleteB. Teachers are often the first one to notice their students’ behavior on how children behave with regard to their concentration, self-control and learning disabilities as it affects children’s performance in school. Likewise, when a teacher already suspects impairment to a child he/she should report immediately to the child’s parents to seek help of a physician or psychologist to have a diagnosis, and if ever the child has ADHD the teacher should adjust in managing the child with positive caring attitude and extra attention. Teachers may use variety of intervention techniques to help these students in the classroom, e.g. expend excessive energy of ADHD child into in a non-distracting manner. Give the child some tasks that would focus his attention like erasing blackboard, arranging chairs and even giving him squeeze ball during breaks. Teachers should manage their own frustrations level trying to ignore non-disruptive minor problems and be positive in comments and attitude Teachers should treat everyone fairly, offering them the same chance to learn.
C. Knowing that a child has ADHD symptoms, teachers and schools can help a child who has developmental disabilities by physical, speech and occupational therapy, special education classes and psychological counseling can also help. Students with developmental disabilities need extra attention and a teacher must emphasize what behavior is appropriate to them. Likewise, specialized school program cater individuals who are developmentally impaired that understands their rights and responsibilities; to be treated fairly and given a chance of equal quality education.
a. A child’s perception is different from an adult, first by body and child’s word. The much smaller physical body of the child the more it affects his perception on his environment. A child sees everything around him large and big because of his/her height that is lower than what he/she sees. Unlike an adult they constructed their surroundings to accommodate their own bodily needs. Next is by boundaries. Childs world is limited only to what he/she sees and what adults told to them. Another one is the organization. Childs don’t perceive easily the complex figures because it’s beyond the child’s capacity for organization unlike adult they immediately perceived it.
ReplyDeleteb. As a teacher if I suspected a child with ADHD I will bring him first to the school clinic to do some test if my suspicion is correct. If it’s positive I will talk to his/her parents to explain about the condition of their child.
c. Teachers and schools can help a child with developmental disabilities by gathering information and knowledge about the disability of the child. If the teachers and schools have enough knowledge about it they know the ways on how to protect, treat, and communicate and to learn to understand their situation.
a.Child’s perception is different from an adult because of some factors that are considered. The smaller physical body of a child affects his perception of the things in the environment. Children perceive that things around them are larger. Their muscles are not yet fully developed so they see things as heavier than adults do. Children are not yet matured like adults, their brain are not yet fully developed for them to perceive things like adults do. They perceive things in a simpler way. Children don’t have enough knowledge on things they see and encounter, thus their perception differs from that of an adult whose brain are fully developed.
ReplyDeleteb.As a teacher, if I suspect that a child has ADHD, the first thing that I am going to do is ask a medical personnel with expertise on that case and tell my observations of the child’s behavior. If the he confirms that a child has ADHD, I will talk to the parents or guardian of that child so that they will also be aware on the situation of their child. A child that has ADHD is very impulsive, thus being a teacher of that child requires patience and understanding of the child’s behavior.
c.Teachers and schools should be knowledgeable on the different developmental disabilities of children. They can help children having those disabilities by implementing a lesson or curriculum that are based on the capabilities of those children. Teachers should know the proper approach and management of children having disabilities.
1. A child's perception is different from an adult's in many unique ways. First, children tend to be more egocentric than adults. They tend to view the things they encounter as it relates and affects them, not the other way around. A child will do something because they believe that they will benefit from it or they will avoid something because they think they will be punished if they do so. Another characteristic of a child's perception is curiosity. Children are inherently curious about the world they live in and as such will characteristically get into all sorts of scrapes trying to find out how things work. This curiosity and wonder should be reasonably encouraged in order to allow their cognitive functions to develop as much as they can.
ReplyDelete2. As a teacher, if I ever have suspicions that one of the students under my care has ADHD, I will do my best to confirm my suspicions to the extent of my abilities before bringing it up with the student's family. If I manage to confirm my suspicions, I will then inform the family and assure them that ADHD is not anything to be ashamed of and with discipline and care, their children should have nothing to worry about.
3. I think the best way for teachers and institutions to help children with developmental disabilities is by allowing them to get an education and by promoting an environment where they will not have to fear ridicule and judgment.
1. The child’s perception has absence of complete objectivity and realism as well as the sensitivity to influence qualities to preserve freshness and spontaneity in view of the world. A child in his immaturity and inexperience is more mercy of attributes of objects that may flood over and swamp his perception. As for the adult, the expressive characteristics of objects are kept and are conceived irrelevant subjective factors. They have constructed their surroundings to accommodate their own bodily needs.
ReplyDeleteThe smaller physical body of a child affects how he views the environment. Many physical objects around him look larger, more imposing and within reach. He thinks that many objects are heavier and sees adults as giants. The child lives in narrower in scope than the adult. When he sees something or an event happen, the child thought that it is happening everywhere. Anything that happens before would seem that it just happened yesterday for a child. Highly complex figures are beyond the child’s capacity for organization and cannot perceive them the way adult does.
2. Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hypersensitivity Disorder are thought to be neurochemical disorders that interfere with attention. Children with this have difficulty paying attention to task at hand and are easily distracted by any stimuli around them. They are hyperactive and restless, have poor impulse control and are prone to outburst of anger and aggression. They are emotionally labile and immature and are resistant to discipline.
Other symptoms that we may see as teacher if suspect the child having ADHD are the following: 1. There is restlessness as evidenced by fidgeting with hands or feet, 2. Leaving seat when remaining seated, 3. Running about or climbing when remaining seated, 4. Being on the go or often acting as if driven by motor, 5. Blurting out answers before questions are completed, 6. Difficulty waiting for his turn, 7. interrupting or intruding on other’s conversations and activities, 8. Not paying attention to what needs to be done, 9. Difficulty paying attention to what needs to be done, 10. Seemingly not listen when spoken directly, 11. Not following through when given directions and failing to finish activities.
3. Teachers plays an important role in molding a child and School serve as their second home where they learn. A child who is suffering from disabilities must be given importance and their learning should not be forced because they cannot cope like normal children. Teachers should make learning easy for them and to enjoy learning. As teachers, we must have a lot of patience, we must be caring for our students particularly those with special needs. Every developmental disabilities has a corresponding management that the teachers and schools may use to help the child. The students must feel that they are not pressured and that they are just enjoying themselves as they are learning

ReplyDeletea. Child's perceive things differently compared to adult for they see things simple unlike adult who view things more complicated. Child views life like fairy tales while adult views life as not a bed of roses. Child ask questions the way they see things because of their innocence like "Why the moon follows us when we travel along the road?". I remember that when I was a child I view Christmas as very happy event for all are given to me freely like delicious foods, gifts, new clothes, toys and have reunions with relatives but now when I am adult I have now the responsibility to provide all of it - buy food, prepare food, contact relatives, provide gifts and do the after care. As we grow we are expected to mature and sometimes force to mature and be responsible. Unlike kids are really so trouble free and always nurtured. Children has this "no masamang tinapay conception" unlike adult who see there is "amag in the tinapay". Children can fight and later be friends again but adult is different for they cannot forgive that easily. Children are contented if they bump their head and their ,mom kissed it, it is gone. But when adult head was bumped, they have this other thinking that what if that bump cause blood clot or hematoma.
ReplyDeleteb. If I suspect my student to have ADHD, I will research on how to evaluate my student. I will ask also the experts like the Developmental Pediatrician. Before I thought my son has ADHD, so I researched and this will help me to guide my students. I have researched this test - "You tell the child to be motion less for 1 minute and if the child moves less than a minute then it may be suggestive to have ADHD." But you have to administer the test like you are playing you that it is a contest not to move and you have to time. The first to move is the looser." Of course this test have to be supported with other parameters like I have researched A CHECKLIST with 15 parameters and there is scoring that if 10 out of this 15 the child has ADHD. I have researched also that a child cannot finish 1 program without changing channel or do other things like playing while the TV is on. If this researched test or evaluation was administered to my students and reveals that my student has ADHD, I will inform the parents to properly have consulted with the experts like Developmental Pediatrician and Child psychologists to give intervention and guidance to my student.
ReplyDeletec. Teacher and schools could help a child with disabilities by working hand on hand with the parents and experts like Developmental Pediatrician and Child Psychologists to properly guide the student, give proper intervention, provide therapies and activities that will help students to achieve their maximum potential as individual and part of the society.
