This case study examines how upper secondary schools in a municipality in the northern parts of Sweden structure their special pedagogy with students who have ADHD and dyslexia, students’ and parents’ experiences of this, and what regulates the schools management in this particular aspect. The results show that all the schools have special pedagogues and other support staff employed, though in varied extent. Furthermore, the resources are distributed differently from school to school. The focus, however, is always around communication between the concerned parties. Unfortunately, their good efforts to reach all students have not been successful. Not every special needs student have received the support they are entitled to. Students, as well as parents, have pointed out the shortages that they have experienced in communication, support and information about what rights they have, both as special needs students and as just students in a Swedish upper secondary school. Many of our informants have pointed out the teachers’ ignorance as one reason for the disappointment regarding the support from the schools.

The purpose of this work is to investigate how the school’s digitization has affected history teaching for students with neuropsychiatric disabilities. In order to fulfill the purpose, the following question has been formulated: “What consequences does the school’s digitization generate for students with neuropsychiatric disabilities within the frame of history teaching?” The method for this work is based on systematic literature research through three databases, SwePub, Google Scholar and ERIC. These three databases were used to produce articles to further strengthen our question. The searches were done in both Swedish and English to get the largest possible selection of items. The results show that the school’s digitization has a positive impact on students with various neuropsychiatric disabilities but also all students. However, there are a limited number of studies that show the positive effects on NPF students. But based on the research found, it can be stated that digital tools play a crucial role in the child developing knowledge in order to achieve the goals in their education.

Students with special needs are often placed in agriculture and other CTE classes. Literature has shown that teachers often feel unprepared to deal with this population of students. The Theory of Planned Behavior framed this case study of an exemplar agriculture teacher. Evidence of the teacher's planned behavior was supported by triangulation of interviews with the teacher, special education coordinator, special education aide, and lesson plans. This triangulation also showed that the teacher is an exemplar agriculture teacher in his work with students with special needs. Multiple themes emerged from the analysis of the interviews. An important theme was the need for agriculture teachers to participate in IEP meeting either by attending in person or by providing feedback prior to the meeting. Another important theme was the need for materials to be adapted for students with special needs both within lesson plans and as needed while the teacher is teaching the lesson. Recommendations for practice include providing information about special education laws, disabling conditions, and information on utilizing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to pre-service and in-service teachers. It is also recommended that teacher preparation programs include having pre-service teachers work with students with special needs. Professional development workshops that discuss best practices for teachers when working with students with special needs can be beneficial. It is important for teachers to realize that not all students are the same but that everyone is better served if all teachers do their best at helping students achieve their highest potential. Because in the end, we all just want to be accepted for who we are. / Doctor of Philosophy / Students with special needs are often placed in agriculture and other CTE classes. This dissertation was a case study of a model agriculture teacher. It looked at the teacher's behavior to determine if his work with students with special needs was planned. The importance of a teacher planning their behavior towards students with special needs is important from both a lesson planning viewpoint and also while the teacher is teaching. Multiple recommendations came out of the study. One recommendation included the need for programs that prepare agriculture teachers to have these individuals work with students with special needs while they are still in their teacher preparation program. Professional development workshops for current agriculture teachers should include information on best practices for working with students with special needs. It is important for teachers to realize that not all students are the same but that everyone is better served if all teachers do their best at helping students achieve their highest potential. Because in the end, we all just want to be accepted for who we are.

Darbe atlikta teorinė konfliktų raiškos visuomenėje ir mokyklose analizė. Čia analizuojama konflikto samprata, priežastys ir jų pasireiškimo būdai, konflikto rūšys, valdymas, sprendimo būdai bei mokinių tarpusavio konfliktai. Iškelta hipotezė, kad mokiniai, turintys specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių (SUP) dažniau patiria konfliktus mokyklose ir negeba jų tinkamai išspręsti negu įprastos raidos mokiniai. Anketinės apklausos metodu buvo atliktas tyrimas, kurio tikslas - išanalizuoti įprastai besimokančių ir turinčių specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių mokinių požiūrį į tarpusavio konfliktus. Atlikta lyginamoji duomenų analizė. / In this paperwork there was carried out the theoretical analysis of the conflict occurancies in society and schools.

A comparative analysis of the data was done.

The needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students with moderate or severe intellectual disability (ID) are quite unique and complex. CLD students with moderate or severe ID face many of the same issues as their non-disabled CLD peers; however, due to the nature of their disability this may lead to even less access to the general curriculum, appropriate services, materials, and meaningful collaboration between families and educators. The purpose of this article is to provide a culturally responsive framework for facilitating academic instruction for CLD students with moderate or severe ID that also includes appropriate supports in an effort to increase access to postsecondary outcomes for this population. Suggestions for accessing the general curriculum and a discussion about increasing parental involvement and accessing appropriate adult agencies to further enhance these outcomes are provided.

Based on recent literature reviews on the use of Visual Activity Schedules (VAS) for students with intellectual disability and autism, the strategy has been deemed an evidence based practice. Using the literature highlighted in the recent reviews, this article provides an overview of VAS and common skills VAS has been used to teach. Additionally, the authors provide guidelines on schedules variations, creating schedules, and implementing the schedules. Finally, several examples of VAS are included.

本論文以「我國身心障礙學生學前特殊教育政策」為題，旨在探究我國學前特殊教育法令政策、現狀瞭解以及資源分配情形。根據教育部特殊教育通報網統計數據，分析學前特殊教育資源分配，將我國身心障礙學生學前特殊教育分成法令與政策、行政支持與課程教學、師資人力與專業團隊、支援服務與網路關係等四項。本研究採文獻分析與訪談法，結論如下： 一、中央政策能指引地方政府發展學前特殊教育的方針。 二、中央應建立一套鑑定安置的標準流程與運作機制。 三、因應托幼整合，需重新調整或研發系統性的學前特殊教育課程與 教材。 四、私立幼兒園個別化教育計畫(IEP)達成率高於公立幼兒園 (81%:73%)。 五、學前巡迴輔導生師比例高，且各縣市的運作模式不同。 六、具學前特殊教育教師資格人數少，各縣市大多聘用未具特教資格教師。 七、角色不同對特教行政E化功能與用途，易產生誤解。 八、資源分配不均的問題，影響偏遠地區資源重疊或服務間斷。 / The study was to investigate the effectiveness of implementation of the early childhood special education in Taiwan.

The number of certified preschool special education teachers was few. 7. Different roles of teachers had misunderstanding on special education administrative function and usage. 8. The unequal allocation of resources led to repetition and discontinuance of service
