CMD 450 Speech-Language Pathology Services in Schools

Final Exam Fall 2019

In the school’s class this semester, we have discussed:

a.) behavior modification techniques to help reframe our thinking

and to realize what is and what is not effective in terms of

managing behavior;

b.) building a resource binder for future reference when working

with school-aged children;

c.) examining the relationship between adolescent language

problems and encounters with the juvenile justice system;

d.) building a theme-based language unit with measurable goals,

objectives and activities for third grade students.

Despite all of the wonderful things that we have learned about

improving learning in the school setting, school shootings occur and

they are devastating for everyone involved.

“The pain is grinding, and it feels like it’s never going to stop,” says retired

teacher Paula Reed, who survived the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School

that left 13 dead and more than 20 injured. Reed struggled with PTSD and says she

was suicidal by the three-year anniversary of the shooting at her school. Symptoms

of PTSD can include agitation, hostility, hypervigilance, self-destructive behavior,

social isolation, insomnia, nightmares, emotional detachment and unwanted

thoughts. PTSD has been linked to suicide.
