Case study 1: Ella
Ella is a foundation year 1 student in your class. She has not been formally diagnosed with any intellectual disability. Previous journal entries by your supervising teacher, however, showed that she might have problems maintaining her attention, especially during activities that require her to perform fine-motor skills and activities that require her to perform simple math operations. She tends to be on-task for only a few minutes at a time and forgets to complete multi-step activities most of the time. She does, however, participate well in group activities, engaging more compared to when she works alone. Ella can also be observed calling out instructions to other children, and helping when others are in need. Today’s classroom activity is about mathematical sets. It involves the children using popsicle sticks to group sets together according to a predetermined numbering. Health Assignment Help

How would you go about giving instructions to Ella, and how would you adjust the activity to maximise Ella’s learning experience?
Note: In this scenario, you are to support Ella in the physical (i.e. fine motor skills), cognitive and social domains.
Based on the observation and the interpretation of the student’s needs, write down a general plan of action to maximise the student’s learning experience. You must also write the specific instructions you will say to the student once the activity starts. Do this using the implementation plan and specific student instruction template below: Health Assignment Help
