Download or read book Autism written by Sue Fletcher-Watson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Francesca Happé’s best-selling textbook, Autism: An Introduction to Psychological Theory, this completely new edition provides a concise overview of contemporary psychological theories about autism. Fletcher-Watson and Happé explore the relationship between theories of autism at psychological (cognitive), biological and behavioural levels, and consider their clinical and educational impact. The authors summarise what is known about the biology and behavioural features of autism, and provide concise but comprehensive accounts of all influential psychological models including ‘Theory of Mind’ (ToM) models, early social development models and alternative information processing models such as ‘weak central coherence’ theory. The book also discusses more recent attempts to understand autism, including the ‘Double Empathy Problem’ and Bayesian theories. In each case, the authors describe the theory, review the evidence and provide critical analysis of its value and impact. Recognising the multiplicity of theoretical views, and rapidly changing nature of autism research, each chapter considers current debates and major questions that remain for the future. Importantly, the book includes the voices of autistic people, including parents and practitioners, who were asked to provide commentaries on each chapter, helping to contextualise theory and research evidence with accounts of real-life experience. The book embraces neurodiversity whilst recognising the real needs of autistic people and their families. Thus Autism: A New Introduction to Psychological Theory and Current Debate provides the reader with a critical overview of psychological theory but also embeds this within community perspectives, making it a relevant and progressive contribution to understanding autism, and essential reading for students and practitioners across educational, clinical and social settings.

Download or read book Positive Behavior Support for People with Developmental Disabilities written by Edward G. Carr and published by AAMR. This book was released on 1999 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, prepared in response to a request from the United States Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, reviews the published literature on positive behavior interventions and uses this database to provide four main content areas for research. Positive behavior support (PBS) is defined as an approach for dealing with problem behavior that focuses on the remediation of deficient contexts (such as environmental conditions and/or behavioral repertoires) that by functional assessment are documented to be the source of the problem. The research published on PBS between 1985 and 1996 (n=107 articles) was reviewed with respect to four categories of variables: demographics, assessment practices, intervention strategies, and outcomes. Results indicated that: (1) PBS is widely applicable to people with serious problem behavior; (2) the field is growing rapidly overall, but especially in the use of assessment and in interventions that focus on correcting environmental deficiencies; (3) using stringent criteria of success, PBS is effective in reducing problem behavior in one-half to two-thirds of cases; (4) success rates nearly double when intervention is based on a prior functional assessment; and (5) consumer needs that emphasize comprehensive lifestyle support, long-term change, practicality and relevance, and direct support for consumers themselves are inadequately addressed by the research base. Recommendations are made for bridging the research-to-practice gap. (Contains more than 300 references.) (Author/CR)

Download or read book No Limits to Learning written by J. W. Botkin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-19 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconsiders global problems such as energy and the arms race, as well as more recent issues like cultural identity, communications and information. Attention is primarily focused on human problems and potential, rather than on material constraints to growth. The analysis places particular importance on new forms of learning and education, for individuals and especially for society, as indispensable for laying the groundwork to deal with global issues, and for bridging the gap between the complexity and risks of current global issues and our presently inadequately developed capacity to face up to them. This is the first Club of Rome report to authors from socialist and Third World countries as well as from the West

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuando un orientador u orientadora llega a un centro educativo siente, en muchos momentos, una sobrecarga de funciones, demandas y responsabilidades: ¿Qué se espera de mí? ¿Dónde está mi sitio? ¿Qué tengo que hacer en realidad? ¿Cómo me organizo para desarrollar mis tareas? El libro ofrece respuesta práctica a estos y otros interrogantes. Sin teorizar sobre técnicas o modelos, refleja una forma de entender la orientación educativa como un proceso de colaboración, reflexión conjunta y búsqueda de soluciones compartidas en todos los ámbitos de intervención pedagógica. Las actuaciones que las autoras han seleccionado, y que se describen detalladamente a lo largo del libro, son las que en su quehacer profesional han comprobado que se repiten de forma constante en los planes de trabajo, año a año y en la mayoría de las instituciones educativas. Se trata, por tanto, de una propuesta concreta en la que aparecen las tareas que enmarcan y dirigen toda la actividad orientadora: la elaboración del Plan de Trabajo Anual de Orientación, la presentación del mismo para su consenso y aprobación en los órganos de coordinación pedagógica,el seguimiento a lo largo del curso y la evaluación final del mismo. Esta Agenda de trabajo constituye un libro imprescindible para las personas responsables de la orientación en instituciones educativas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title, first published in 1975, analyses the ways in which developments in Victorian universities have shaped both the structure and the assumptions of British higher education in the twentieth century. No period of British higher education has been more full of change nor so rooted in fundamental debate than the second half of the nineteenth century.

This title will be of interest to students of history and education.
