Today children are diagnosed with disorders that impact their learning. Many schools are faced with challenges daily with students that have disabilities or disorders that impact their learning. However, as educators, hard work helps to conquer any barriers that are put before us. Even though strategies are applied, some things cannot be abolished. Our schools have to do their best to curtail any problems to help the student learn especially those students that have seizures. Children with epilepsy can be average learners that present very well in their academics and in social settings if the seizure is a mild version and has no confirmation of the brain being abnormal other than the inclination to seizure. On the other hand there are students that have severe seizures, non-ambulatory and uses a wheel chair. They tend to have lesser social- emotional and learning issues. In order for the teacher to work thoroughly with the student, the teacher has to know the student goals they have to meet, know all the specifics of the disorder, complications as a result of the disorder, financial effects, and assistance with the school system, treatment options, and rehabilitation.
In working with a student that has a seizure disorder, I would design goals that are attainable for the student to learn. Most students with epilepsy experience cognitive injury that affects their memory, attention, language and other capabilities that is significant to their development. In a situation with a student that have seizures, and requires assistance with feeding and changing, the goals would have to be Transitional Education Goals for IEP. Such as, the student will complete the steps to obtain a GAA diploma. Daily living goals would be for the student to wash the face one time daily with a wash cloth, and develop basic drinking skills with assistance.
