When taking the time to research my topic and find resources to help me I can across three great organizations that I feel would be extremely helpful to my studies. The agencies that I would enlist help from would be: Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (CHADD), Nevada PEP, and Families for Effective Autism Treatment (FEAT).
I chose to pick CHADD and FEAT because I see an increasing number of children with ADHD and autism in the classroom. These students are ofter times misunderstood for behavior problems and not taken for who they really are. I believe that this organization can help these students learn coping behaviors in the classroom and also do lessons with myself and the other students in my classroom. I could not find job opportunities for either of these organizations, but they did have multiple volunteer options.
The reason that I chose Nevada PEP is because I want families to also feel incorporated in this process of including all students and coming together as a community. This organization is very helpful and has tons of resources that can help everyone in my classroom feel welcome and special.
Nevada PEP has a job opening for a Family specialist. I think that this would be a great role to help support and train families. I would teach them how to support their child and their individual needs in the community. In order to take this job I would need a little more background knowledge on the opportunities available to families.
