SPED 849 Partnerships with Families of Exceptional Children
Service Project Assignment- 100 points
When writing the 3 page paper and the brochure please find reference in the Kansas City area.
Rationale
Families of children with exceptionalities often need or could benefit from community services but are either unaware of them or do not know how to access them. Often educators are in the same situation and are not knowledgeable about services available in the community.
The purpose of this assignment is for the candidate to gain an understanding of a specific community service that could benefit families of children with exceptionalities. After researching the area identified by the candidate from the approved list, the candidate will complete a project that describes the services available and explain how to access them. The final project should be informational and worthy of publication.
Part One (75 pts)
Prepare a 3 page paper; first research the topic and then outline the services you have identified in your community. Describe the process you used in locating them. Who did you contact? Are the services adequate? Describe ideas for improving the services. If you could, how would you change things in your community? This paper is to be submitted to the designated drop-box posted on Canvas by July 27 at 11:59 PM. (Refer to the rubric for expectations)
Part Two (25 points)
Prepare a one-page brochure outlining the services, include the names of contact people, addresses, and phone numbers. This document is to be informative and professionally designed so it could be publicly distributed. Candidates may post their brochures for all members of the class to view in Canvas by July 27 at 11:59 pm.
Choose your research topic from the list of situations that could confront a family in your school. UPDATE: You do not have to choose a different topic from others.
My topic: You are the parent of a child, diagnosed with ADHD who has serious problems in school and the legal system.
