Helping Learners With Exceptionalities Presentation – Description
Parent Presentation
When working with children with exceptionalities from diverse backgrounds, whether in the school system or in a counseling setting, it is very important to both involve and provide support for the parents. A large part of this will be educating parents on the needs of their child and then providing them with resources that will help them to support and help their child. For your final project you will create a 15-20 slide PowerPoint presentation that will focus on educating and supporting parents in meeting the needs of their exceptional child.
First you will need to choose an area of exceptionality that you will focus your presentation on. Examples of areas you can choose from are:
Learning disabilities
ADHD
Emotional/behavior disabilities
Communication Disorders
Multiple Disabilities
Traumatic and Acquired Brain Injury
Vision Loss
Physical and Health Disabilities
Gifted, Creative, and Talented
The first half (10-12 slides) of your PPT presentation will be educational in which you will help the parent to fully understand your chosen exceptionality and the specific needs of a child with this exceptionality. In the second half of your presentation (5-7 slides) you will provide the parents with at least 6 resources that they can turn to for additional education and support making sure to cover the following areas:
Web resources
Local and national agencies
Instructional and parent support organizations
