When in the classroom, children with ASD struggle to focus because they can often become preoccupied with one detail. Parents and teachers may have to direct the child where to look and clarify what information is relevant.]]> 2018-02-07 02:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mpatterson151/SPED580/wish/228931318 1940's-1970's mpatterson151 https://padlet.com/mpatterson151/SPED580/wish/228931708 Autism was thought to be an expression of schizophrenia or psychosis caused by mothers not loving their child.

Her son, diagnosed with ASD, made great strides with his language development after receiving an iPod touch. Brooke made it her mission to get devices into the hands of other children with ASD. That is when iTaalk was founded. Although getting the devices to ASD children is important, Brooke also realized that was not enough. People also needed to know how to use them to get the results that Brooke saw with her son. There is a training series offered by iTaalk that includes “iTaalk 101-104” for families and “iTaalk 201-204” which is for professionals. Resources for families that have children with ASD are also available through iTaalk, including a list of the top 30 apps that can be helpful for those with ASD. Many parents, autistic support teachers, and therapists have benefited from presentations made by iTaalk as well.]]> 2018-02-07 02:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mpatterson151/SPED580/wish/228933592 Asperger Syndrome hasn't disappeared marissa_reitz https://padlet.com/mpatterson151/SPED580/wish/228933647 -We now call what was once considered Aspergers "ASD Level 1 without language or intellectual impairment."

While she was researching for a film she had a bit of an “a-ha moment” when so many of the symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome lined up with the traits that she loves in her husband. Helena says: “We were watching a documentary about autism and he said that’s how he felt as a child. Autistic people have application and dedication. You can say something to Tim when he’s working and he doesn’t hear you. But that quality also makes him a fantastic father, he has an amazing sense of humor and imagination. He sees things other people don’t see.”]]> 2018-02-07 03:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mpatterson151/SPED580/wish/228934015 Andy Warhol mpatterson151 https://padlet.com/mpatterson151/SPED580/wish/228934077 The simple, repeating pattern defined an entire era of art.
