  1. Module IV_______________________________ Planning to Meet the Needs of Students with TBI

  2. Module IV Goal______________________________________________________ • To assist participants in acquiring knowledge and skills that help them meet the educational needs of students with TBI.

  3. Module IV Learning Outcomes______________________________________________________ • At the end of this Module you will: • Be familiar with considerations for IEP development for students with TBI • Be able to identify school problems and alternative behaviors • Demonstrate the ability to select intervention targets and strategies to use with specific problems

  4. The IEP Process______________________________________________________ • Referral • Review existing data • Determine if additional data are needed • When team has enough data, determine: • Does student meet criteria for TBI? • What are present levels of academic achievement and functional performance? • Does the student need special education?

  5. Planning to meet the student’s needs in school_______________________________________________________ • The IEP team has decided that the student • hasan impairment (TBI) • needs special education/related services • The IEP team needs to develop the individualized education program

  6. Considerations for developing an IEP for a student with TBI_______________________________________________________ • The IEP is developed to meet the student’s individual needs • Many students with TBI display similar needs • Considerations for IEP development are presented on the next pages of your manual

  7. Group Activity: Jerry_______________________________________________________ • The next several pages of your manual contain the directions for this small group activity (pages 7a-7s).

  8. Strategies for addressing learning problems_______________________________________________________ • A well-designed IEP guides a student’s education • An appropriate educational placement implements the IEP • But we still need to know • how the brain injury will affect learning • what specific interventions to use with the student

  9. How does TBI affect learning?_______________________________________________________ • Memory • Encoding, storage, retrieval • Working memory • New learning • Directions, rules, consequences • Executive functions • Initiation • Goal setting • Planning • Self-monitoring

  10. How does TBI affect learning?_______________________________________________________ • Speed of processing • Reasoning and problem solving • Inductive reasoning • Deductive reasoning • Causal reasoning • Divergent thinking • Decision making

  11. How does TBI affect learning?_______________________________________________________ • Attention/Concentration • Arousal/alertness • Selective attention/focus • Shift attention • Divide attention across activities • Organization • Classification • Sequencing • Integration

  12. How does TBI affect learning?_______________________________________________________ • Language • Expressive • Receptive • Pragmatics • Sensory skills • Vision • Hearing • Visual-spatial skills/Perception • Specific skill deficits

  13. How does TBI affect learning?_______________________________________________________ • Social-emotional factors • Awareness of deficit • Denial of deficit • Depression, anxiety, anger • Withdrawal • Physical/health factors • Fatigue • Pain • Medications

  14. Jerry_______________________________________________________ • Jerry has returned to school. • What types of problems might Jerry be experiencing in school?

  15. What do Jerry’s teachers say?_______________________________________________________ • Social Studies: Jerry doesn’t complete long-term projects • Math and reading: Jerry doesn’t complete class work and homework; he ignores problems on part of the page • Music: Jerry is a loner; he cuts classes

  16. Jerry: Social Studies______________________________________________________ • You are Jerry’s case manager. How can you help Jerry and his teacher reduce Jerry’s difficulties in social studies? • Read description of Jerry’s difficulties in social studies on p.16a

  17. Addressing learning problems_______________________________________________________ • Identify the learning problem • Identify how the brain injury influences learning • Evaluate other factors that influence the behavior • Determine if it is a skill or performance deficit • State a positive goal • Develop and implement a plan • Evaluate the plan

  18. 1. What is the learning problem?_______________________________________________________ • Define the problem clearly • What learning problems is Jerry having?

  19. Memory Executive functions Speed of processing Reasoning and problem solving Attention and concentration Organization Language Sensory skills Visual-spatial skills Specific skill deficits Social emotional factors Physical/health factors 2. How does TBI influence Jerry’s learning?_________________________________________________________

  20. 3. Do other factors influence learning? _________________________________________________________ • Consider • Environment • Instruction • Curriculum • Teacher • Family, peers • Consider • Antecedents, consequences

  21. 4. Is there a skill deficit or a performance deficit?_______________________________________________________ • Is the problem a result of a skill deficit or a performance deficit? • Skill deficit: Jerry doesn’t have the necessary skill • Performance deficit: Jerry has the skill, but doesn’t use it

  22. 5. What is your goal?______________________________________________________ • What do you want Jerry to do instead of the problem behavior? • What is the skill or behavior you are working toward? • Is it realistic?

  23. 6. Develop a plan______________________________________________________ What is the target of intervention? • Environment • Instruction • Curriculum • Teacher • Peers • Family • Student

  24. 6. Develop a plan (cont.)_______________________________________________________ • What strategies are available? • Most problems are caused by more than one factor • Most problems need more than one intervention strategy

  25. Guidelines for selecting strategies_______________________________________________________ • Involve the student in strategy selection • Use strategies that build on what the student already does • Try simple strategies before complex ones • Select strategies that will work in the target environment • Select strategies that are acceptable to parents and teachers

  26. Physical health/safety Vision Hearing Memory Orientation/attention Reasoning Executive functions Language academic skills Social-emotional See pages 26a-n Strategies for working with specific problems of students with TBI

  27. Modifying the classroom environment_________________________________________________________ • Many students with TBI require classroom modifications • See pages 27a and 27b for suggestions on modifying elementary and secondary classrooms

  28. 7. Evaluate the plan______________________________________________________ • Is the plan working? • How do you know? • What can you do if the plan isn’t working?

  29. Jerry______________________________________________________ • See problem descriptions on next 2 pages • math and language arts • music • Complete worksheet questions 1-7. • Refer to intervention strategies on pages 26a-n
