2017- 2020 Global Resource Supports

I was working with DDA consumers of all (Growth and Developmental) age groups with DSM disorders in a Day Program. In which I experienced doing, ISP-IPP’s (Treatment Plan). Post doing the Psychosocial Summary while doing a careful Assessment (Clinical) DSM-Disorders- Axis. I worked with Consumers with a (Multidisciplinary team) doing quarterly and annual reviews. Objective: To assess and evaluate the strategies and long and short-term Goals for modification based on the progress of the Consumer. In this position some of the Consumers had (Dual Diagnosis) attached with a BSP Plan. Therefore, a protocol was created over a period of time to evaluate the inappropriate subsequent behaviors. One population that I experienced working with was consumers who had 3-Dimension of Autism. The Spectrum consisted of consumers who were Non-Verbal vs Verbal. Most of my Treatment Modalities were aimed at the category or range after assessing their functional abilities through observing them in everyday (ADL) Activities-of-Daily-Living.

My teaching experience at Global was to work with the Intellectual Disability Consumers with DSM-disorders such as Autism in all Spectrums, Mentally challenged, Down syndrome and consumers with physical deficits with medical malformations mthat inhibited them from ambulating but they were intellectual able to perform and obtain training to master a skill. These individuals best method of learning is through "Visual Acuity" which consists of movies, flashcards, and didactics which illustrate individuals and groups socializing the resident, school and community to target socialization between others in a appropriate manner vs inappropriate way. During these illustrations learning is developed and the consumer begins to develop the concept.

However, afterwards l was able to understand that most Consumers with Autism best Method of learning is through “Visual Acuity” was consist of TV, Tablets and computers to see others performing ADL in a Community or Household setting which Illustrates learning.

I worked with young children 10-12 yrs pre-puberty to young adults, in High School (9th-12) graders. in a small to mid-size classroom. The individuals disability range from students with multiple intellectual deficits in a small classroom setting to regular students in a large classroom settings, existing out of High School enroute to technical and college students. I taught "basic life skills" and Special Education students who learn differently from regular students. Their best method of learning is through "Visual Acuity" which consists of movies, flash cards, games, music and didactics which are used to enhance their style of learning, while regular students who learn through the traditional classroom and communication illustrations from the books, blackboard, and specific assignments, given through the school year as the child's growth and development years target a specific time period that a task or goal should be met; However, the Special Education student's mastery level takes a little longer to achieve the "concept" as their cognitive learning (process) time period is quite different but is an infinte, continuous process.
