Download or read book Inclusive Phygital Learning Approaches and Strategies for Students With Special Needs written by Efthymiou, Efthymia and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For “A School for All” to be a reality, changes need to be made to the education system regarding culture, policies, and practices within schools. Inclusive education requires more than just a standard educational provision. Teaching and education have been extensively researched during the COVID-19 pandemic, and yet there is little research that has addressed the practices that can improve phygital teaching effectiveness in inclusive environments. Following the move to online teaching programs in the pandemic, children with special needs faced even greater challenges, including digital exclusion and the threat of being left behind, as well as the inability of teachers to teach them appropriately due to an absence of appropriate assistive equipment, internet access, accessible materials, and poor preparation. Inclusive Phygital Learning Approaches and Strategies for Students With Special Needs provides current, relevant information concerning inclusive classroom teaching approaches during COVID-19, which are still implemented post COVID-19. Covering topics such as inclusive classroom teaching, phygital teaching, and the digital divide, this book is essential for pre-service and in-service teachers, inclusive educational leaders, academics, curriculum development specialists, and those who are interested in inclusive phygital practices for students in special education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many children are labelled 'different' - by doctors, psychologists, educators, or even peers- and as parents, this label can limit our hopes and expectations for them.

This book brings together the 12 habits you need to set your child up for success regardless of diagnosis. Chapters range from defining what 'capable' means for your child and setting expectations for how others treat your child, to challenging your child in safe ways, and helping your child build a narrative of strength. With true stories that bring each habit to life, the neuroscience underpinning each habit, activities that encourage reflection and practical application, this is a game-changing guide to understanding, supporting and celebrating your extraordinary child.

Download or read book Communication Issues in Autism and Asperger Syndrome Second Edition written by Olga Bogdashina and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-07-21 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this updated edition, Olga Bogdashina provides a theoretical foundation for understanding communication and language impairments specific to autism.

'What We Can Do to Help' sections throughout the book give practical recommendations for helping autistic individuals use their natural mechanisms to learn and develop social and communicative skills. The final chapters are devoted to assessment and intervention issues with recommendations for selecting appropriate methods and techniques to enhance communication, based on the specific mode of communication a person uses.
Download or read book Autism and the Edges of the Known World written by Olga Bogdashina and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this intelligent and incisive book, Olga Bogdashina explores old and new theories of sensory perception and communication in autism. Drawing on linguistics, philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, anthropology and quantum mechanics, she looks at how the nature of the senses inform an individual's view of the world, and how language both reflects and constructs that view. Examining the 'whys' and 'hows' of the senses, and the role of language, Olga Bogdashina challenges common perceptions of what it means to be 'normal' and 'abnormal'. In doing so she shows that autism can help to illuminate our understanding of what it means to be human, and of how we develop faculties that shape our cognition, language, and behaviour. In the final chapter, she explores phenomena often associated with the paranormal - including premonitions, telepathy and déjà vu - and shows that these can largely be explained in natural terms. This book will appeal to anyone with a personal or professional interest in autism, including students and researchers, clinical practitioners, individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, teachers, speech and occupational therapists, and other professionals.
