Problem

Part I:

Many of the service providers who work with students with moderate to severe disabilities possess unique training that allows them to provide specific forms of therapy and support to these students. Discuss the importance of understanding and adhering to designated roles and scope of practice when teaching students with moderate to severe disabilities. Use real-world examples to illustrate your ideas. In replies to peers, discuss how failure to adhere to roles could lead to potential legal and ethical dilemmas.

Part II:

Explain the role of assistive equipment in helping students with moderate to severe disabilities meet their IEP goals. Include discussion about the legal and ethical responsibilities of ensuring that this equipment is available and utilized in the educational setting.

Part III:

Explain why it is critically important for teachers, support staff, and service providers to have working knowledge about the correct use of equipment and emergency action plans when working with students with moderate to severe disabilities. Provide a specific, real-world example that illustrates how lack of training and knowledge about correct use of equipment or emergency procedures could be detrimental to the student with moderate to severe disabilities as well as the teacher, support staff, or service provider in the event of an emergency. In replies to peers, discuss the specific types of training that should be provided to prevent situations like the one described in the real-world example scenario.
