| Overall Educational Objective | To gain a basic knowledge and understanding about various disability groups, their characteristics, needs, learning differences and to discover different ways for teaching to people with disabilities. | ||||
| Course Description | This course addresses the answers of following questions: What is disability?, Who is disabled?, How can we separate disability from ability?, What is normal? In this perspective, it aims to introduce the characteristics and learning needs of different disability groups and the educational considerations related to those groups. In the light of this, the following topics will be covered: Definition of Disability and Different Models of Disability, The Special Education Concept, Integration and Inclusion Issue, Family Involvement in Education, Learners with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Learners with Learning Disabilities, Learners with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Learners with Emotional or Behavioral Disorders, Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Learners Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, Learners with Blindness or Low Vision, Learners with Physical Disabilities and Other Health Impairment, Learners with Special Gifts and Talents. | ||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Bu derste temel olarak, engel nedir, engelli kimdir, engelli olan kişiyi diğerlerinden nasıl ayırt edebiliriz, normal nedir gibi sorular ve yanıtların tartışılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda farklı engel gruplarının özelliklerini, öğrenme ihtiyaçlarını ve eğitimciler açısından neler yapılabileceği, derslerin genel gayesini teşkil etmektedir. Tüm bunların ışığında şu başlıklar dersimizde konu edilecektir: Engelliliğin Tanımı ve Farklı Modeller, Özel Eğitim Kavramı, Kaynaştırma Eğitimi, Eğitimde Ailelerin Rolü, Zihin Engeli ve Gelişim Geriliği Olan Öğrenciler, Öğrenme Güçlüğü olan Öğrenciler, Dikkat Eksikliği ve Hiperaktivesi (DEHB) Olan Öğrenciler, Davranış Bozukluğu Olan Öğrenciler, Otizm Spektrumlu Öğrenciler, Sağır veya Az duyan Öğrenciler, Kör veya Az Gören Öğrenciler, Fiziksel Engeli ya da Başka Sağlık Sorunu Olan Öğrenciler, Özel Yetenekli Öğrenciler. |
