Interventions for Individuals with Mental Retardation

Mental Retardation: Interventions for Individuals with Mental Retardation Trailer

Although children with mental retardation may have ongoing medical needs, the primary focus of intervention is to assist them in developing to their highest potential. This program focuses on aspects of these interventions, including the multidisciplinary team, teaching strategies to increase learning, and the development of the Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Also discussed are the specific challenges in education related to auditory learning and methods to reinforce learning as it occurs. The program also looks at the roles of the counselor, the special education teacher as well as mainstreaming. Behavior modification, as a way to assist the child in working effectively within the classroom and the family, is explored as well. Finally, the program describes the various levels of achievement possible for adults with mental retardation, including joining the workforce and living independently or within a group home.

@Justinfh2point0 I know what you mean buddy. I had to push myself to get where I am because no one else would, unfortunately :( Everybody treated me like a child, but I wanted to be like everybody else. Therefore, because I pushed myself, I'm in a post secondary program now. Also, if you saw me on the street, or what not, you would not be able to tell that I have a disability. I'm a pretty good looking guy:)

@mrturdferguson11 LMFAO!!! You are so ignorant! Did you even read anything that I wrote? I'm in a college program now; therefore, IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE! You don't know how much I wish I didn't have this disability, but I do and have to live with it. And, stupid ignorant people like you try so hard to insult people with disabilities. Do you have anything better to do, or is your life so crappy that you have to try to make other people feel bad?? Also, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
