Title: | Problem behaviour or just a communication breakdown? | Contributor(s): | Tait, Kathleen (author) | Publication Date: | 2007 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/3612 | Abstract: | Ashley is a young child of 4 years of age who had received a confirmed diagnosis of cerebral palsy from a paediatrician. As a result of his physical impairment, Ashley required a wheelchair for mobility. He had also been diagnosed with epilepsy and a mild visual impairment. Ashley lived at home with his mother, father, and 6-month-old sister. He attended a local non-government preschool with 19 other children, 3 mornings per week, and also received monthly therapy services from a community service agency. The preschool was set up as a two classroom unit. That is, there were two separate classes, each with a teacher and a teacher assistant. Ashley was enrolled in Miss B's class. Although Ashley's teacher had been working at this unit for the past 5 years, she had had no experience with a child with a severe communication impairment. Nonetheless, Miss B had happily accepted Ashley into her class. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Special Education Perspectives, 16(1), p. 10-17 | Publisher: | Australian Association of Special Education Inc, New South Wales Chapter | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1038-6475 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130312 Special Education and Disability | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 939907 Special Needs Education | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://search.informit.com.au/fullText;dn=162457;res=AEIPT |
