STUDENTS WITH AUTISM 2 Examining Best Practice for Students with Autism There is little argument that early diagnosis and treatment are essential in addressing needs that impede communication and learning skills in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Research has shown that intervention can teach individuals how to more effectively deal with‚ or work with‚ the difficulties associated with ASD as supported in research studies by the National Research Council in 2001 as reported

Infrared Spectroscopy Organic Chemistry Lab 301A B. The purpose of this lab is to study Infrared Spectroscopy‚ which focuses on the study of the electromagnetic spectrum. The area to be studied is the infrared region‚ which is made up of gamma‚ X‚ and UV rays. We want to be able to identify spectra’s to their complementary structures. The background of this experiment particularly deals with the study of compound structure determination‚ and traits. We must be aware of the functional groups

Part One I have chosen to investigate Autistic Spectrum Disorder and how it can affect a child’s behaviour. Autistic Spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that is characterised by lack of social skills‚ aggressive behaviour‚ lack of imagination‚ difficulties communicating and repetitive behaviour. (Anderson et al‚ 2008) Children that have ASD can find it very difficult when dealing with social situations. This is because they lack the ability to read other people’s faces and emotions

The Medical model of disability focuses on the condition rather than the individual. It views people with disabilities as being imperfect‚ and as something which must be cured when possible. This leading to a person with a disability being encouraged to act or look ‘normal’ to fit into society‚ therefore treating people with disabilities as a victim. The Social model of disability challenges societies views of people with disabilities and impairments. Developed by disabled people highlighting

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders‚ characterized by social impairments‚ communication difficulties‚ and restricted‚ repetitive‚ and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Autistic disorder‚ sometimes called autism or classical ASD‚ is the most severe form of ASD‚ while other conditions along the spectrum include a milder form known as Asperger syndrome‚ and childhood disintegrative disorder and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (usually

Environmental factors are one of the emphasized causes of ASD. It is important to understand that the study of environmental risk factors includes much more than exposure to chemicals. Scientists use the term "environmental" to refer to influences other than changes in a gene’s DNA. Autism risk factors‚ for example‚ appear to include such influences as parental age at conception‚ maternal nutrition‚ infection during pregnancy and prematurity (“Environmental Factors in Autism Initiative”).
