I am very interested in researching how disorders like Down syndrome and Autism affect a child’s school development and success. I am interested in this topic because it is related to my major, Elementary Education. I know there are many children that with these diseases that do very well in school, and then there are others that do not do well. With this project I want to find out not only how, but why these two disorders affect children and their schooling the way they do. At the moment I do not know much about this topic, but with this project I hope to educate myself more and be able to understand the affects these disorders have on children.
With this project, and the proper research I hope to not only educate myself, but also other people. I hope this research will explain why and how children with Down syndrome and Autism develop in school compared to those of other children. I would also like to find out if there is a better way to help these children in school.
For the topic I have chosen there are different artifacts that I could work with. I could interview a teacher that has taught both special needs children and children without disorders. An interview would allow me to get a teachers point of view on the subject, and one that has first-hand experience with how a child with one of those disorders develops in school compared to other children. A video would be a good artifact because it would show exactly how a child with Down syndrome or Autism functions in school. PowerPoint presentations would allow me to show charts on how children with these disorders develop compared to those children without. I would also be able to explain what is being showed and why. Traditional papers would allow me inform other people why and how the disorders are affecting children in school. I am looking forward to working on this project and finding out more information.
