Reflection Paper: Populations with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder found in community and institutional corrections.

found in community and institutional corrections. students will write a personal reflection on their reaction, attitude, and feelings toward this identified group. Avoid using direct quotations or cut and paste from readings/online sources. You will need to paraphrase main points/argument by using in text citation. 1. Identify and describe your chosen special needs population. What does your research tell us about this special need and how their challenges can influence their involvement within Justice Services? A minimum of 2 APA listed references are needed. Correctly identify the special needs population you have chosen. Research this population-specific to those involved in the Justice system NOT just the general population. Explain the special need population in some detail and write about their characteristics and vulnerabilities and how this may make them more vulnerable to criminalization. You must reference at least 2 credible sources (not the same one twice) and apply in-text citations. Your research is to align with the lecture materials for that special needs population – this means that you cannot promote a perspective that is different from the teachings of this course. This is not an opinion paper. 2. Discuss your FEELINGS about this special needs population. How do you FEEL about this special needs population DESPITE what the research tells you about this population. In other words, what are the emotions that you experience when you think about or talk about interacting with this special needs population, even though you may intellectually understand why this population may behave in the way that it does? Do not repeat what you have already written. You need to identify your personal feelings and emotions with respect to this special needs population/offender group and not your feelings towards the justice/corrections systems. For example: Sad, angry, confused, afraid, disgusted, and so on. How will this population trigger emotions in you? 3. How can your personal feelings influence your work in the CJS field? How will or might YOUR feelings and experiences affect or influence the work you will do with this special needs population? Connect your specific feelings from question 2 to what your working practice might look like. Explain how and why these feelings will or may make it challenging to work with this population within the Justice system. For example, if your feelings are of disgust or fear for your chosen special needs population, explain the effects of your feelings on your everyday work interactions. For example: Will you be more likely to avoid them? More likely to treat this population poorly? More likely to overlook negative behaviours, if you feel sorry for them, etc.? 4. How will you practice inclusion with this special needs population? Provide a definition of Inclusive Community Practices – you can use the definition provided in the lecture or from an outside source, (these need to be referenced). Explain how your feelings/experiences may bias you against or in favour of practicing inclusion. Again, using the definition that you provided, write about how you will apply this definition to your Justice work. Write about how Justice clients may benefit from your positive approach or how they may be traumatized or damaged by your negative approach. In addition, write about how the community may benefit from your approach to inclusive practice or about how the community may be further damaged by your negative approach 5. What two suggestions, supported by research, can you make to help prepare YOU for working with this special needs population within Justice Services? This question is what you need for YOURSELF, not the client. This question is NOT about what the client needs BUT what YOU need as a CJS worker. Your TWO suggestions MUST be supported by research and can include such things as the development of skills, specialized training, further education, a self-care plan (including personal counselling), etc. Be sure to develop your answer well and BOTH suggestions must be supported by a credible reference. You are expected to use a MINIMUM of 4 different credible references. BE SURE TO USE APA FORMAT. APA Format code in-text Citations: you must give credit for what you write even if it is not a quote within the body of the paper reference. Provide a references page at the end.
