Conducting Time-Series Research Introduction Many psychologists consider some methodological designs to be cross-sectional. Cross-sectional methodological studies involve measurement of the relationship existing between some variables of interest in time duration. Despite cross-sectional designs being appropriate for larger samples, they are often  less powered to the assumptions obtained from other linear methods. It, therefore, becomes imperative for psychological scientists to consider supplementing methodological toolkits with time series to investigate the effect of time-dependent variation on individual subjects exhaustively. In this paper, I will analyze the efficacy of my behavioral intervention on Kaya. Using time series research techniques, I will access the effectiveness of my recommended behavioral intervention strategies towards Kaya’s target behaviors. Background information Acording to Martin et al(2015), behavioral intervention plan is a plan used to teach and reward positive behaviors. This plan can help prevent or stop problem behaviors in school children. Kaya’s off-task behavior included failure to  continue undertaking a given task at hand for more than three consecutive seconds. Kaya also portrayed behaviors of physical and verbal aggression. In my approach to tackle Kaya’s target behavior, I…

PERSPECTIVES IN SEN AND INCLUSION Introduction Salamanca’s statement, which has been adopted by UNESCO, is based on the notion that every child has the right to education (UNESCO, 2015, p. 8). Children have to be given opportunities not only to achieve their goals but also to maintain an acceptable learning level. From those mentioned above, it is clear that children, regardless of their disabilities, are entitled to an equitable education. As such, SEN and children with various disabilities are allowed to learn in regular schools. However, regular learning institutions should accommodate their needs through the utilization of child-centered pedagogy. Therefore, the inclusive education perspective is based on the notion that the SEN and children with disabilities have the right to study in the same learning environment with their peers. Educational policies in place have to accord them with the required opportunities, which can enable them to attain maximum academic potential (Global Partnership for Education, 2018, p. 17). The education offered for SEND should take place within the same learning environment with children without learning problems. Towards achieving this, the appropriate…

Discuss Whether Nature or Nurture Contribute to Special Needs In Children Introduction Development psychology refers to the scientific study of the various changes that take place in human beings in their entire life. It is a branch of knowledge that seeks to acquire a deeper understanding of the influence that both nature and nurture have on the development of human beings (Brewer,2020). Not only does this study explore the level to which development is caused by the gradual gathering of knowledge, but it also analyses the degree to which children are born with mental structures that are innate as opposed to acquiring knowledge through experience. The relationship between whether an attribute is part of one’s nature or is influenced by his environment of existence has been an issue of great significance in developmental psychology. Development psychologists have therefore opted to investigate this kind of relationship. From their investigations, nativists have always argued that attributes exhibited in children are due to the influence of their genes (Sameroff,2010). Natural human behavior is, therefore caused by present biological factors like the genetic code.…

Stefan Jaynes v. Newport News Public School District Case Summary The case involves the provision of special education where Stefan Jaynes, the plaintiff, was after his second birthday diagnosed with autism. His parents were busy looking for a school within their residence that would amicably provide special education to Stefan. Newport News public School District, the defendant, was the only school they found, which was an ordinary and only had plans to provide an individualized education programme (IEP) for Stefan. However, they didn’t involve the parents in the process as they even delayed the implementation of the same, which in turn had detrimental effects on Stefan. The school placed him in an ordinary classroom with other children, which made him experience a hard time since of his autistic condition, which led to his attendance regression.

My View on Nursing Practise Name Institution Date     My View on Nursing Practise Numerous factors influence a nurse’s personal view on patient care. These factors include religious and cultural values and beliefs. Nurses play a pivotal role in providing quality healthcare to the patient during difficult times (Harkess and Kaddoura, 2015). While the nurses are in a position of power over the patient, they should ensure that they adopt holistic approaches in providing quality care to avoid situations where the patient undertakes the prescribed treatment methods out of fear of ridicule (Hart and Davis, 2011). Nurses must thus be culturally and religiously competent to offer holistic healthcare services to the patients. Influence of Culture on my Philosophy Cultural competence plays an essential role in influencing my philosophy for quality patient care. According to Harkess and Kaddoura (2015), culture refers to a group of ideas, beliefs, and practices that are shared by a given community. It is through these patterns that we are able to distinguish communities. Culture significantly influences health. People have different perceptions about illnesses, death, the…
