  1. 1. How is a child's perception different from an adult?

    Children see things far differently from adults. I said so because, children do not integrate sensory information while adults do. An example is a speeding car, head lights turned and the driver keeps on honking its horn. The child may view this as just a noisy and fast car, while an adult may see it as a car who has an emergency.

    2. As a teacher, what will you do if you suspect your student having ADHD?

    Spending long hours with children in the class, the teacher usually are the first to notice ADHD symptoms on a child. If I will be the teacher who have noticed that one of my students suspects to have ADHD, the first thing that I will do is to seek dialogue with the child’s parents so I could discuss with them how the child behave differently in school and other things that I noticed he’s doing outside the norms. I will volunteer to help them talk to the school psychologist if there’s any. And since ADHD treatment requires observation of the child’s behavior, and I am in the best position to see how the child behave towards his classmates or any school activities, I will volunteer to help them on that part in coordination with the child’s doctor or psychologists.

    3. How can teacher and school help a child who has developmental disability?
    School and teachers play a very significant role in the development of children with developmental disabilities. First identify, what areas are their disabilities. Once identified, teachers can then integrate or develop ways that would provide the children a more conducive learning environment. She may include having visual aids that could help the student recognize faster compared to making them read, using strategies in giving them a clearer instruction on what to do or even assign him/her different people as his/her peer buddies that would help the child feel a sense of belongingness. Most of all, one great thing a teacher can do to help her students with developmental disabilities is constant motivation. The teacher’s motivation will stimulate a learning mood on the students.

    Answer:
    1. Child Perception is less broad than an adult which the adult had a wide perspective on things that are in the environment. Upon the understanding between good and bad the adult is more dominant. While the Child perception on things are limited to what they explore.
    2. As a teacher, I will approach him/her and I would conduct one on one meeting with the parents and him/her so that I can address it to them without anything conflict.
    3. It develops the mind and body of the child with disability as the school cater its student’s rights and it will help to expose the child with disability that they are still part of the society they are into.

    1. How is a child's perception different from an adult?
    2. As a teacher, what will you do if you suspect your student having ADHD?
    3. How can teacher and school help a child who has developmental disability?

    Answer:
    1. Child perception is dependent to what the environment taught to them while adult have their different or own perception about their environment. Children may not be as good as adults in thinking ahead, visioning the future consequences of their actions, resisting pressure from others.

    2. If I am a teacher suspect my student for Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder I will talk to the guidance councilor for further counseling and recommendation for a child psychology and therapy and after that I will talk to the parents asking them for their observations in their child and after they share their observations in their child I will discuss to them my assessment and the evaluation of the guidance councilor and suggest them a referral from guidance office to a child psychologist and therapy.

    3. Teacher and School can evaluate the child situation of developmental disability. They can both help the child to cope up in different aspect like in cognitive development, socialization, emotional stabilization.

  5. 1. How is a child's perception different from an adult?
    Child perception is different from adult perception in a way that the adult has deeper understanding on their how they sense their environment. Child perceives things as it is without logical thinking, why those things happen,etc. while an adult can perceive things around with the ability to use their logical reasoning in abstract situation.

    2. As a teacher, what will you do if you suspect your students having ADHD?
    If i suspect my students that he/she is having ADHD, i will observe and monitor the behavior of the child. Then I will talk to the parents of the child about his/her behavior. I will ask the parents how the child behaves towards other people and to his environment. If I found out that my student is having ADHD, then I will programs to help the students. I will seek help and advice from the guidance counselor. Students with ADHD demand attention and with a lot of patience. As a teacher, my role is to evaluate the student's individual needs and strengths.From there, I can develop strategies that will help students with ADHD focus, stay on task and learn to their full capabilities.I will also look for ways to motivate a student with ADHD by offering rewards or token system. Always have a positive attitude towards them.

    3. How can teacher and school help a child who has developmental ability.
    In order for a teacher and school help a child who has developmental ability, there must be a programs and strategies for them. The role of a teacher is to evaluate each child's strengths, weaknesses and individual needs in order to assess the students. Accommodate them on what the teacher can do to make learning easier for them. As a teacher you can also help them by making some methods in teaching them.
    The school should make also programs for those students who have disabilities. Make some activities that make the interested and feel that they can also do what a normal person can. Schools and teachers should help hand in hand in order to cope the students with disabilities with their environment.

  6. 1. How is a child's perception different from an adult?
    As we get older, our senses actually "fuse" together, and we lose the ability to focus on isolated pieces of sensory information. This means adults perceive certain events far more accurately than children can... and vice versa. Once people reach about the age of twelve, they start to combine sensory information to make better sense of the world. This means adults connect, say, related sights and noises into a single unified perception. In other words, while an adult would perceive a big, barking dog as a single entity, a six-year-old would treat the big dog and the frightening barks as two independent sensory events.

    2. As a teacher, what will you do if you suspect your student having ADHD?
    I would first observe more on his/her behavior when alone and when with his/her classmates. Second, if I’m certain that the child have ADHD I will talk to the Principal regarding the child. Third, I will talk to the parents if the child have the same attitude at home then if it is the same with the behavior at school I would recommend the parents to let a specialist see if their child is suffering from ADHD.

    3. How can teacher and school help a child who has developmental disability?
    As a SPED Teacher, I was exposed to different kinds of developmental disability of a child. And one thing we do first before teaching them the right behavior is to teach them how to sit still. Because most of the special kids have a hard time sitting down for a long time and if a child cannot sit down for a long time how can we teach them all the things they need to know. We have to teach them how to stay still and focus on what we are saying. Focus is a main key to learning so as a teacher we have to be creative on how will a child remember the things we teach if we cannot teach them how to focus.

  7. 1. The way adults perceive the world is totally different from the way a young child perceives the world. Children view the world as a state of flux. The child does not see anything as permanent, he/she does not see cause and effect, does not know things can be undone, does not have our memory, and does not see itself different from the world, and so on. As we grow older and gain more life experience we learned from the past and see what may cause and effect of the decisions we make, we fully understand every words and actions. We see the song through new eyes; the words take on new meaning.

    2. Teachers are often the first ones to recognize or suspect ADHD in children. Since us, teachers work with many different children, we also come to know how students typically behave in classroom situations requiring concentration and self-control. So when I notice something outside the norm, I may speak with the school guidance/principal or school psychologist and then the parents about their concerns.

    3. With a lot of patience, creativity, and consistency. As a teacher, my role is to evaluate each child’s individual needs and strengths. Then you can develop strategies that will help students with ADD/ADHD focus, stay on task, and learn to their full capabilities.

  8. 1.) For me, childs perception is like a blank paper and sponge which is open to new learnings and experiences while adults perception is influenced by his experience and environment. According to website www.mindstructures.com, child perceives the world as a state of flux. The child does not see anything as permanent, he does not see cause and effect, he does not know things can be undone, he does not have our memory and he does not see itself different from the world. Opposite of these qualities are the adults perception.

    2.) As a teacher, if I suspect one of my student has ADHD, I will speak to the guidance counselor and/or principal to have a meeting together with the parents of the child to discuss the matter. I will tell them my observation and suggest to the parent to bring the child to a specialist to check his/her condition. I am willing to coordinate with the specialist and parents to help what is best for the child.

    3.) As a teacher, I can help a child with developmental disability by understanding and giving more patience to the student. I will also encourage the child to learn by making lessons more fun and interesting. Moreover, I will focus more on childs talents and skills not on the disability. The school on the other hand can help by not discriminating children with developmental disability. Instead, they should work together with the teacher in making programs and activities that is conducive for learning.

  9. 1. How is a child's perception different from an adult?
    A.) It differs from the fact that most of the children perceived things with the influence of their parents or what they saw in the society of what is right or wrong. However, most of us adults has the ability or capacity to perceived things logically and we drew out our reasons and decisions through past experiences.

    2. As a teacher, what will you do if you suspect your student having ADHD?
    A.) I will ask the parents if they are having the same suspicion as mine, and if they the same suspicion or not, I simply tell the child's parents about my suspicions in a professional manner and advise them to have their child to assessed by a Pediatrician to determine if my/our suspicions are correct or not.

    3. How can teacher and school help a child who has developmental disability?
    A.) By adjusting our teaching strategies to the child's learning capacities, and by showing them affection that we (teachers) are always on their side to guide them during their difficult times when it comes to their learning.

    1. How is child perception different from an adult?
    Unlike adults, children are able to keep information from their senses separate and may therefore perceive the visual world differently, It is no secret that children see things completely different than us adults. It’s the fact that kids don’t understand everything that is going on around them, so they make up stories and their own impressions to describe some situations in their lives like school, toys and parents.However adults have their capability to think critically creativity make reason and solve problems base on their experiences.
    2. I will ask or talk to the parents to discuss what will be the possible solution regarding the case of ADHD then ask the assistance or coordinate to the school administrator what help could possible offer to the child and to the parents.as a teacher im willing to help to the therapy or learning process of the child
    3. Teacher and the school has major role in the development of a child especially child that has disability in such cases teacher should evaluate what specific disability does the child have so that teacher can apply what specific method or strategies can apply to the learning process so that the child can easily adapt the lesson and the teacher acquire its goal and objective .

  11. Q. How is a child's perception different from an adult?
    A. A child perception is different from adult in many ways. Child can't recognize right or wrong that's why parents should be the one to assist their children starting from birth. for example, when two children are playing then after few minutes you can see one of them crying it means that the two children fight but then after a few minutes you can see them again playing. In a child's perception fighting is not a big deal because even though they hurt each other it doesn't mean that they will not be playmates again. In the adult perception it can be a big deal because of that fight they will forget their relationship. Children's perception is very innocent that's why we need to protect it.

    Q. As a teacher, what will you do if you suspect your student having ADHD?
    A. As a teacher, the first thing I will do is to research about the symptoms of ADHD, after researching and I notice that my student really have it I will contact the parents or the guardian of the child and we will talk about it together with our Guidance councilor. I will not recommend to stop the child from coming to school, but I will suggest to bring the child to a psychologist to check his/her real condition. I will still let the child to go to school as long he/she doesn't harm anyone.

    Q. How can teacher and school help a child who has developmental disability?
    A. as a teacher you can help a child with developmental disability by knowing what kind of disability the student has. Knowing the different kind of developmental disability will give you a proper knowledge about how you can assist or manage them. For the school I will suggest that teachers should have seminars about children with disability so that if ever they have encounter it in their classroom they know how to assist them and to help them to live as if they don't have any development problem.

When people reach the age of adolescent, they start to combine sensory information to make better sense of the word.

    2. As teacher, if i noticed that one of my student has an ADHD, it is best to know and evaluate the student's needs, strengths and interests. I will develop a strategies that will help them with their learning. Having a positive attitude can also help them be motivated and make them feel they belong to the group.

    3.Teachers and schools can help a child who has developmental disability through the ff: -building opportunities for the students to have social interaction throughout the regular school day.-seek help from expert professional resources including parents to understand the meaning and behaviors and develop positive approach to resolving them.- working together with students, parents and other school personnel to create and implement an educational plan.- regularly share information about how students is doing at school and at home,

  13. 1) Child’s perception differ from an adult due to that adults have encountered more in life, they are more experienced, and they have something proven, tested, and done. Unlike children, they only react on what they think they know, see, or perceive. They have far more to learn. Adults also can see the consequences on the actions done. Sometimes, these are because child’s health, cognitive, psychological, emotional status.

    2) If a student has ADHD, it needs far more caution, because it is not an ordinary disorder. It needs medical attention and supervision. As a teacher suspecting my student having ADHD, of course I will have to counsel the parents, give them advice. For the child, I will be more flexible in teaching, giving some alternative remedies during class like activities after a lecture or in-between.

    3) Special classes, alternative classes, and activities will help children with developmental disability in learning. But a well-develop curriculum/syllabus, well-trained teacher, medical attention, and of course presence of medical professional will help these children in learning.

  14. 1. How is a child's perception different from an adult?

    a child's perception is different because they only rely on what they see and what they know about a certain topic or discussion they don't usually think deep. many children thinks only inside the box they tend to rationalize things according to what has been influenced them and what has been the standard of the society.

    2. As a teacher, what will you do if you suspect your student having ADHD?

    ADHD is manifested by being INATTENTIVE,Children who are inattentive have difficulty staying focused and attending to mundane tasks. They are easily distracted by irrelevant sights and sounds, shift from one activity to another, and seem to get bored easily. They may appear forgetful and even spacey or confused as if "in a fog." Organizing and completing tasks is often extremely difficult, as is sorting out what information is relevant versus irrelevant.

    3. How can teacher and school help a child who has developmental disability?

    as a teacher we can help address the developmental disability of a student by focusing on the weak side of the student encouraging them to participate in class discussions and molding their thoughts guiding them to do what is right and supply them with the needed attention proper guidance and strong will to create a harmonious school atmosphere wold help them overcome their weakness.

  15. 1. How is a child's perception different from an adult?
    The way adults perceive the world is very much different as to how children perceive it. Children are very imaginative and playful. They think of the world as a playground or sometimes even a wish-granting factory. While adults are more mature and knows more about the world and the life they have. That life is not always a bed of roses, but you have to work hard to live well. That there are many things to consider before doing or even saying anything. Children are innocent, they are easily influenced and are easily swayed. While adults are thinkers, and they know "cause and effect."

    2. As a teacher, what will you do if you suspect your student having ADHD?
    As a teacher, if I suspect my student having ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), the first thing I would do is tell my immediate superior about it and then tell the parents (What I notice, what is different from their child to other children) and ask them to have him/her checked by a specialist. I would give due attention that is needed by the child and assist him/her. Of course I should be more patient in dealing with the child and would give more understanding.

    3. How can teacher and school help a child who has developmental disability?
    A teacher is the one who teaches and a school is the place for learning. Having these being said, it is just the responsibility of the teacher and the school to give assistance and help a child with developmental ability. It is through proper guidance, giving the proper curriculum that is suitable for the child, to give support and encouragement not only to the child but also to the parents. Establishing rapport and partnership with the parents as to help improve and give the child the best education that he/she could possibly have.
