Each student will have an individual topic chosen from under one of the categories of disability under IDEA. The focus of the report will require students to design a case study of a child with special needs. The paper should be 5-7 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page and should include an initial section of overview information and then a section about the case study. While some candidates may have access to a child to use for the case study, the majority of candidates will be asked to create a hypothetical “textbook” case study meaning a case study whose characteristics are backed up by the research on the disorder. The report must include the following:
Research the disorder with a minimum of 5 sources (class texts required, current professional journals, websites)
Overview – Discuss the following factors as they are related to a specific disability:
