According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2022), "People with ASD often have problems with social communication and interaction and restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests" (para. 1). 
 Autism spectrum disorder can also impact the way students learn, "People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention" (para. 1)
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2022), other characteristics include "Unusual mood or emotional reactions, hyperactivity, and or inattentive behavior" (para. 4).]]> 2022-10-10 18:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/priscillamancillas90/ughbls3yn0hcphsz/wish/2334017649 Five Behavior Strategies to Support Universal Behavior Characteristics priscillamancillas90 https://padlet.com/priscillamancillas90/ughbls3yn0hcphsz/wish/2334028857 Positive behavior strategies adapt behavior as a way of communication (Morin, 2022, para. 4). Positive behavior strategies "are evidence-based, proactive approaches to changing challenging student behavior" (Morin, 2022, para.1). 
According to Morin (2022), A teacher can apply positive behavior strategies by doing simple things like, 
  • "Create a classroom layout that supports students.
  • Post and define positive behavior expectations. 
  • Explicitly teach behavior expectations.
  • Have systems to respond to behavior
  • Partner with families" (para.11).

 According to Connecting Elements (2022), "A 2015 study published in the journal Building and Environment found that changing some core elements of classroom design can increase student learning outcomes by 16 percent" (para. 6). 
Studies have shown that by changing traditonal row seating to group configuration seating improves active involvement, collaboration, feeling of comfort, and active stimulation (Connecting Elements, 2022, para. 9)

]]> 2022-10-10 20:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/priscillamancillas90/ughbls3yn0hcphsz/wish/2334170253 #3 Explicitly Teach Behavior Expectations. priscillamancillas90 https://padlet.com/priscillamancillas90/ughbls3yn0hcphsz/wish/2334188812 Practice makes perfect. To ensure students always know procedures,according to Morin (2022),"Plan, teach, and practice expected behaviors...
Routines and procedures" (para. 11). 
It is importatnt that as the year continues ensure the students know what is expected to do. As stated by Morin (2022), "Reinforce and re-teach routines, procedures, and expectations throughout the  year" (para. 11).

According to Morin (2022) This can be achieved by 
Collaborating with specialists to use data to create supports for individual students (para. 11).

Educators and families must work together as a team for the betterment of the student. As mentioned by Morin (2022),
"Gather information about students from families and caregivers.
Engage the family when a student demonstrates challenging behavior. 
Follow up with families to share when a student is demonstrating positive behavior" (para. 11).

  •  "Working memory or the time it takes to process information, especially processing several pieces of information at one time, can be difficult for people with ASD.
  • Many individuals with ASD are able to better process information when presented visually. 
  • Unstructured time or extensive waiting can be difficult for many. 
  • Individuals with ASD often have difficulty generalizing learned skills from one setting to another
  • Organization of materials and activities can be problematic for individuals with ASD" (para. 6).

According to Loveless (2022), Working memory "is also known as short-term memory" (para. 2).
A few strategies Education Corner (2022) suggests to help strengthen working memory skills are 

"Mnemonics-using familiar or rhyming words, phrases,and songs to help memorize challenging terms

Use Multiple Formats-presenting the same information in a various ways such as written texts, pictures, and videos.

Teach Active Reading allowing the srudent to write keywords, and asking comprehension questions over the information" (para. 6-12).

It is common for those with ASD to learn information better by seeing it. As stated by Pratt, Hopf, & Larriba-Quest (2017), those who have ASD "may benefit from pictures, modeling the behaviors of others, hands-on activities, and concrete examples" (para. 6).

According to Bhargava (2022), "Unstructured times can be a struggle for students with Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)... The nature of these periods of time can prompt some students to exhibit emotional and behavioural difficulties" (para. 1). for 
Some strategies teachers can use to help students prepare for these times are by reminding students of expectations beforehand,providing an agenda or scedule, and helping the students choose an activity they can do during this time (Bhargava, 2022).

If a studnet is unable to demonstrate the leaned skill in a new enviroment that isn't where they leaned it; means the teaching was ineffective (Dalphonse, 2022). 
One way to help ASD students is by using Natural enviroment teaching (Dalphonse, 2022).
As stated by According to  Pratt, Hopf, & Larriba-Quest (2017),"Educators may need to teach skills across different settings, people, and activities" (para. 6).

 "Educators may need to teach individuals with ASD how to organize their materials for different classes, keep their lockers tidy, how to use an agenda, and gather materials for homework." (para. 6).]]> 2022-10-11 01:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/priscillamancillas90/ughbls3yn0hcphsz/wish/2334430340
