students with these disabilities usually
Typically, have more than one disability
* May have a combination of mild disabilities that present severe educational
problems
* Need highly specialized educational, social, psychological, and medical
services to maximize their potential
* May exhibit severe speech, language, and/or perceptual-cognitive deficits
concomitant impairments
A degenerative brain disease caused by
repeated brain trauma, some of which might not been severe enough symptomatically to diagnose; symptoms can include early
dementia, depression, risk of suicide, deficits in working memory
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE):
When combined, ______ of the disabilities mentioned in Chapter 13 affect less than
1% of the population
all
- Injury to the brain caused by external force
- Injury not caused by a degenerative or congenital condition
- Diminished or altered state of consciousness
- Results in neurological or neurobehavioural dysfunction
- Impairs learning and everyday function
TBI
a penetrating head wound
* Caused by gunshot, assault, vehicular accident, surgery, etc.
open tbi
no open wound. Caused by internal compression, stretching, or other shearing
motion of neural tissues in the head
closed tbi
t/f - effects of tbi are aLways profound or permanent, and are all seen immediately
f - can be mild or temporary or seen months/years later
_____% of those with TBI have moderate to severe impairments
16
________ and z_________ experience tbis more frequently
young kids, older teenagers
Males are 1.4 times _______ likely than females to experience a TBI
as
3 dominant causes of tbi’s
under 5: accidental falls, 5-ado: vehicular accidents, concussions from sports
Well-planned transition from medical facility to school
* Team approach (regular and special education teachers, guidance counsellor,
administrators, other service providers, student’s family)
* IEP addressing cognitive, social/behavioural, and sensorimotor domains
* Educational strategies for sustaining attention, remembering, learning new
things, dealing with fatigue, engaging in appropriate social behavior
* Emphasis on cognitive processes involved in learning, not just curriculum
content
* Plan for addressing long-term and immediate needs
are all ________ for students with ________
essentials, tbi
inability to understand and formulate language
because of TBi
motor-speech language disorder
individuals with comorbid hearing and visual impairments
* impact of both impairments on a person’s ability to function independently
is significant
poor central visual acuity or a field of vision defect or
progressive visual loss with a prognosis leading to either
Chronic hearing loss so severe that most speech can’t be understood with
optimum amplification or progressive hearing loss with a prognosis leading to
this condition
deaf-blind
3 factors affecting outcomes of students with deaf-blindness
- Quality and intensity of instruction
- Degree and type of visual and auditory impairment
- Other disabilities and medical conditions – e.g., intellectual disabilities,
autism, and/or physical disabilities
