His parents enrolled him in the church pre-school, hoping that the structured program and interaction with other children his age would be beneficial. The teacher, with just an associate's degree in early childhood education, was not prepared to work with a child with special needs. Amos, who was completely non-verbal, was often frustrated when no one understood him. His parents and siblings had automatically made accommodations for him, but the other three-year-olds could not, nor could the teacher. When Amos got frustrated, he would scream, hit the teacher or other students, and even kick and bite if someone tried to restrain him. The church told Amos's parents that he could not stay, and they agreed, although they were disappointed and frustrated.
At home, Amos's family does not know what to do with him; his behavior is increasingly challenging. He frequently has tantrums and seems very frustrated. He has gained a great deal of weight because he demands snacks and his parents gave in, rather than listen to him scream.
Conclusion
When Amos came to kindergarten, he was essentially non-verbal. He can usually...
Loud noises and changes in routine are very upsetting and can result in a temper tantrum. Amos will become oppositional and may hit, kick, or scream. Often these tantrums will set the tone for the rest of the day.
Before anything else, Amos will need intensive speech therapy. Once he can begin to express himself, teachers and peers will be better able to determine his other learning needs. As Dyal, Carpenter and Wright (2009) point out, there are a variety of devices available; schools must ensure they choose those that best fit the students. Amos will very likely feel less frustrated when he can communicate, which should help resolve the problem of temper tantrums that get in the way of his learning.

Tori Amos In music, most artists will face a number of challenges. This is because there are struggles they will endure to become successful. At the same time, they have to be able to remain relevant and adapt with the music. This means creating a unique sound which can combine a number of elements together.

Student Body Size on School Costs and Academic Performance in Mississippi High Schools One of the most heated point of contention within school districts currently is the variable effects of school size, school funding and student performance. There are costs and benefits associated with school size and especially class size and those issues effect school funding, as it is largely accepted that less schools, therefore larger schools equals less cost
One of the challenges in determining AT solutions for Amos is the lack of resources, both human and material, in the poor, rural district where he attends school. Before Amos entered kindergarten in the fall, a team of educators met with Amos's parents to begin putting together an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). In attendance at the meeting were the kindergarten teacher, special education teacher, the school principal, the speech-language pathologist,
Depending on his mood, Amos can be either uncooperative or silly. Amos is given the opportunity to participate with his class. If he refuses to participate, or if he becomes silly, he will be removed from the circle. Amos and the classroom aide might use the "study buddy," a large cardboard box that was once used to ship a refrigerator. If Amos has spent too much time at the circle area, he
