Question Number 4

Attitude of School Professionals and Structural Values:

The parents of other cultures or ethnicity face obstacles in encountering the school professionals. They often go through the phase where they have lack of knowledge about their rights and processes of IEP. The school professionals are either not willing or evade the right of not providing the information and decision making regarding the children and their parents (Nesse, 2015).

Underlying Values of the Parents

The parents of culturally different background are still holding onto their ethnic values and cherish their traditional and typical believes and practices, regardless of any participation in the society of the United States.

The above-mentioned two areas involve the school professionals and parents of the children, need particular attention in the development of individualized education program from the perspective of culturally and linguistic diversity. As these areas are related to the effective education of the child, so they are of great importance.

Question Number 5

The parents of a disable child at first respond with denial, anger, frustration and depression. They usually take such child with the feeling of guilt, embarrassment and low self-esteem, and due to this they overly protect their child.

Mothers are more involved with the child; hence they ignore their husband and other children. So father of a disable child will most probably respond by feeling exhausted ignored however he will start neglecting the responsibilities of the child.

The siblings of such children are often frustrated and feel neglected by the situation of their family. They need to vent their feelings of embarrassment and shame due to a disabled brother or sister.

Question Number 6

Patience

A child with special needs and his family need patience of a professional who is working with them, as both are going through tough time.

Compassionate and understanding

A competent special need professional is the one with a thorough understanding of the matter and a compassionate nature, because without these two there would be no effectiveness in treating or educating the child (Strauss, 2017).

Encouraging

As special children and their parents are very much disappointed with life and the disabled mindset of the child they need an encouraging persona s a mentor so they feel motivated.

Supportive behavior

Supportive behavior throughout the course of education or treatment is necessary even sometime throughout their life. Therefore, such professionals need consistency with their profession and they are determined to help and support these children and their families.

Acceptance

The nature of acceptance for all special children is a must for the professional of special needs. As there are different disabilities from which children suffer, so the professionals need to accept the differences of all the children and help them accordingly.
