Homework Help: Exceptional children

Posted by Ale on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 at 9:30pm.

I need to do a task analysis on a self-care task that i usually do everyday.I need to find out all the diferent tiny skills that make up that one task that I don't think much about it.I could do it in 2 different ways, and each way will give me a better sense of what it might be like for an exceptional child to manage some simple every day things.

Combing hair including parting.

Brushing teeth

tying shoes

Girls learning to do/undo buttons along the back.

These present a complex learning pattern for kids, as well as the maturity to have brain fine motor control.

Pick anyone of those.

There are many task analyses you could study -- brushing your teeth, pulling on a pair of pants and zipping them, putting on a jacket with a zipper, putting on a shirt with buttons -- many, many tasks that an exceptional child has difficulty learning.

As you do one of these tasks, think about every move you make.

Tying shoes

  I need to do this task very slowly and think about the very first step in the sequence of the many others that will follow. Then, I need to do this task with my non-dominant hand. After completing versions 1 and 2 I need to write a 2 to 3 page essay, in good gramatical form. Please, help!!!

Tying shoes is an exceptionally difficult task. We can all do it, but figuring out how we do it -- and then teaching even normal children -- is challenging.

I think I'll have to change the task to maybe combing hair incuding parting .

That's a good idea. This assignment is challenging enough without taking on the complications of tying shoes! :-)
