Download or read book Educating Children with Autism written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-10-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism is a word most of us are familiar with. But do we really know what it means? Children with autism are challenged by the most essential human behaviors. They have difficulty interacting with other people-often failing to see people as people rather than simply objects in their environment. They cannot easily communicate ideas and feelings, have great trouble imagining what others think or feel, and in some cases spend their lives speechless. They frequently find it hard to make friends or even bond with family members. Their behavior can seem bizarre. Education is the primary form of treatment for this mysterious condition. This means that we place important responsibilities on schools, teachers and children's parents, as well as the other professionals who work with children with autism. With the passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1975, we accepted responsibility for educating children who face special challenges like autism. While we have since amassed a substantial body of research, researchers have not adequately communicated with one another, and their findings have not been integrated into a proven curriculum. Educating Children with Autism outlines an interdisciplinary approach to education for children with autism. The committee explores what makes education effective for the child with autism and identifies specific characteristics of programs that work. Recommendations are offered for choosing educational content and strategies, introducing interaction with other children, and other key areas. This book examines some fundamental issues, including: How children's specific diagnoses should affect educational assessment and planning How we can support the families of children with autism Features of effective instructional and comprehensive programs and strategies How we can better prepare teachers, school staffs, professionals, and parents to educate children with autism What policies at the federal, state, and local levels will best ensure appropriate education, examining strategies and resources needed to address the rights of children with autism to appropriate education. Children with autism present educators with one of their most difficult challenges. Through a comprehensive examination of the scientific knowledge underlying educational practices, programs, and strategies, Educating Children with Autism presents valuable information for parents, administrators, advocates, researchers, and policy makers.
Download or read book Communication Skills for Everyday People written by Justin Albert and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication Skills for Everyday People: Communication Techniques. Enhanced and effective communication is the Number One tool people require in the business world and in personal relationships. With effective and efficient communication, people are able to lead with compassion and understanding, to find success, and to reach toward their goals with greater ease. Communication Skills for Everyday People understands the following: it can be all too easy to be misunderstood in this world. All too often, arguments grow, both in personal and work relationships, ultimately resulting in break ups, deep-seeded anger, and-in the business world, at least-loss of professional positions (and potentially, law suits). Never Allow Lack of Communication Skills to Decrease Your Ability to Reach Toward Your Goals and Meet Your Potential. People with effective and efficient communication are better at delivering their emotions, their opinions, and their intelligence to others. Thusly, they are the leaders of this world. They inspire and motivate people. They make money easily, because they communicate their abilities to others with ease-allowing other people to trust them enough to buy their products and ideas. Be a Strong Leader. Be an Effective Communicator. Make People Think Your Opinions and Ideas Matter. So much of this world is based in communication. When you take the step-by-step skills outlined in this book and apply them, you're able to reap the rewards of enhanced communication. You're actually HEARD in this world, rather than talked over. With effective communication, you can achieve at work and at home. You can parse through relationship issues without misunderstanding. And most of all: you can feel that you're representing yourself well and delivering your "true" self to the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an updated description of The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). It begins with a discussion of the "big picture," or the authors view on the importance of laying the foundation for communication training by systematically structuring the learning environment (be it in the home, community or school). This approach, The Pyramid Approach to Education, embraces the principals of broad-spectrum applied behavior analysis and emphasizes the development of functional communication skills, independent of communication modality.
