Notes de l'éditeur
- Introduction What would you do if your child was born with a disability, such as autism? How would you change your life in order to help your child?
- Background info and why I choose this topic
- Thesis and Findings Easter Seals deals with children of many different disabilities, but their main focus is autism spectrum diseases autistic disorder Asperger’s syndrome Rett syndrome Childhood disintegrative disorder Persuasive developmental disorder
- There are no direct tests to diagnosis autism diseases, they just have symptoms and the parental and doctor interviews Not smiling or babbling by six months Not pointing or waving by a year Lack of interest in surroundings Avoiding eye contact Not wanting to cuddle
- Easter Seals preschools have been created in order to help prepare autism spectrum diseases children for elementary school. Build on a child’s strengths Offer a predictable schedule Teaching a task with simple steps Keep a child engaged with highly structured activities Regular reinforcement of behavior
- Picture exchange communication system—teach student with picture of an item and then student will eventually be able independently communicate.
- Functional communication training—that involves identifying what the individual is trying to communicate when using the challenging behavior and then teaching an appropriate behavior that will serve the same purpose for the individual
- Augmentative and alternative communication—uses symbols, aids, technology, strategies, and techniques to enhance communication
- Easter Seals helps children get ready for school. Promote social skills Independent living skills
- Project Plans As my project I volunteered in an Early Beginnings School, where I went around to different classrooms and saw the children in their school setting. Some of these children were not only autistic but were also poor and many were from families with one parent or a drug or alcohol addicted parent.
- In these schools the children start the day with breakfast, for some this is their only meal of the day. Many of the children at the school I volunteered at were Latino and many had all odds against them..The majority of them could not speak English and then they have to learn a second language and learn how to make their bodies work so that they can be successful in life.
