INTELLECTUAL IMPAIRMENT MODELS

2022popslogo1


Welcome to Pops Spedster's Place, where special education teachers, parents and students will find instructional supports and accommodations for people with various types of intellectual impairments, resulting from low incidence and acquired impairments. At Pops Spedster's Place, we use Developmentally Appropriate Instruction (DAI) to teach academic and functional skills related to developmental assessments and

Common Core State Standards for the State of Oregon

 

DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE INSTRUCTION (DAI), is a system of instruction that involves probing a student's present level of educational performance.

The results of the probe can be used to design individualized education plans that meet IDEA requirements.

Some ELL students and home-schooled students could also benefit from the materials being offered on this site.

Pops Spedster And Company is an Oregon-based 501c3 non-profit, registered with the Oregon Secretary of State's office.

A Possible Cause of the Autism Spectrum Disorder

These various sources of cognitive impairment make it necessary that the person impacted, have access to supports and accommodations that will make learning more effective.

 

 


The following diagram explains how appropriate supports and accommodations can increase the response to a repetitive stimulus in a person with cognitive impairment.

When we talk about accommodations for people with developmental disabilities, one important consideration is our own need to change our expectations where outcomes of instruction are concerned. People with developmental disabilities cannot be expected to have the exact same outcomes as people with no disabilities.

There are many appropriate supports that can be used to increase the effectiveness of teaching students with developmental disabilities. Here are a few more common ones that tend to apply to to functional academic instruction.
