Week 5 - Discussion 1
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
As Chapter 9 of your text states “the number of students identified with
ASD has increased over the last few decades. Some people even call ASD an
‘epidemic’” (Powell & Driver, 2013, Chapter 9 Introduction). This
increase specifically affects you in the classroom or daycare center because it
shows a high likelihood of your encountering children with ASD. Therefore
you must understand the disorder as well as the strategies that will support
children with ASD in the classroom or center. For this discussion,
imagine you are new teacher just learning about ASD.
This discussion has two parts: (Please be sure to include both parts of this in
this discussion)
a.
Part One: After viewing the Autism
Awareness Video: Diagnostic Criteria for Autism and
reflecting on the reading from Chapter 9 of your text, briefly describe what
ASD is according to IDEA. Even though “no two students with ASD exhibit the
exact same characteristics” (Powell & Driver, 2013, Section 9.3), list a
few of the difficulties children with ASD might have with communication, social
skills, and repetitive or obsessive behaviors. Lastly, explore several of
the academic characteristics that some children with ASD might exhibit. Support
this portion of your discussion by utilizing information from at least one
scholarly resource, as well as your text.
b.
Part Two: As your text states, “Many of
the teaching suggestions presented in previous chapters may benefit students
with ASD” (Powell & Driver, 2013, Section 9.6). The more we understand
these connections, the more prepared we will be in terms of planning our
instruction. Complete the Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Table,
comparing which instructional strategies might work with children with ASD as
well as children with other disabilities. Be sure to complete each of the
bulleted points as they are required, but you may add more detail outside of
these bullets if you wish. Include your ASD Table as an attachment.
