Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences.]]> 2018-03-18 23:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dortj96/15opcpt9dcwx/wish/243272304 dortj96 https://padlet.com/dortj96/15opcpt9dcwx/wish/243272975 2018-03-18 23:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dortj96/15opcpt9dcwx/wish/243272975 dortj96 https://padlet.com/dortj96/15opcpt9dcwx/wish/243273559 - Difficulties relating to others

Prompt students to use SIA in targeting skills

Involve student peers-Peer involvement gives the target student opportunities to practice social and language skills. A bonus may be that peers acquire interest in and useful knowledge about their classmate’s SIA.

 Use the SIA to help the student improve skills with which he has experienced some success and then gradually add new skills]]> 2018-03-18 23:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dortj96/15opcpt9dcwx/wish/243277758 dortj96 https://padlet.com/dortj96/15opcpt9dcwx/wish/243279408 In 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that about 1 in 150 children in the United States had been identified with ASD
Autism is now the fourth largest and the fastest growing disability category in special education

- changes in federal and state policy and law favoring better identification and reporting of autism
- improved screening and assessment procedures
- greater availability of services for the diagnostic category,
- greater acceptance of the label by parents and educators
- changes in the diagnostic criteria to a spectrum of related disorders that includes children with milder forms of autism who would not have been identified previously
- diagnosis shift; as the number of students with autism has increased, the numbers in the disability categories of learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, and intellectual disabilities have all decreased in recent years.

Bettelheim’s (1967) theory of psycho-genesis claimed that autism was an outcome of uninterested, cold parents who were unable to develop an emotional bond with their children. Mothers of children with autism were called “refrigerator mothers” and led to believe they had caused their children’s disability.]]> 2018-03-19 00:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dortj96/15opcpt9dcwx/wish/243281193 dortj96 https://padlet.com/dortj96/15opcpt9dcwx/wish/243282049 Recent research shows a clear biological origin for autism in the form of abnormal prenatal and postnatal brain development, structure, or neurochemistry
