Download or read book Teaching Autism Awareness with Harry Potter written by Kyle J Luciani and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of children being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has increased to 1 in 68 as of 2012. In 2013, only 39.7% of students with ASD spent 80% or more of their day within a general education class. ASD is the name for a group of developmental disorders which may not manifest in observable physical characteristics. With this substantial number of students being diagnosed with ASD, and with the disorder not being a visually obvious, it is important to create inclusive environments within the school setting based upon understanding and acceptance, to ease the transition for school districts attempting to increase the percentage of time individuals diagnosed with ASD spend within a general education class. Review of literature supports the efficacy of programs which provide education on the characteristics of target disabilities. A Common Core State Standards (CCSS) based autism awareness unit, entitled Advanced Friendship Making: The Magic of Awareness, has been created to educate 5th grade students on ASD using literary themes from the age-appropriate Harry Potter book series by J.K. Rowling.

This book was released on 2008-03-13 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children who have autism require comprehensive educational and treatment services. There are a myriad of approaches currently recommended to practitioners and parents, but little is known about their efficacy. Which are the most effective in teaching skills, overcoming behavior challenges, and improving quality of life? Methods must be based in research settings, but be easily extended to real world settings where children with autism live, go to school, socialize, and recreate. Identifying and validating effective practices is a complex and multi-faceted process, but an essential one for responsible research and practice. This book brings together multiple and contemporary perspectives on intervention effectiveness for autism education and behavior support. With contributors from a variety of disciplines and orientations, Effective Practices for Children with Autism presents a critical appraisal of current practice standards, emphasizing empirically supported procedures and research-to-practice applications. By bringing together a diverse group of authors, the editors have ensured that the vast field of information on interventions for children with autism is thoroughly examined, and that no topic has gone untouched. Written for practitioners, research scientists, and clinicians, the book is an essential framework for evaluating educational and treatment procedures, selecting those that are most effective, and evaluating outcomes.
