Autism Observation

Improved Essays
While doing my observation visit I was able to observe a student with autism. I became so frustrated that watching him struggle made me asked the teacher if I could sit down with him to help him. To begin with, I did my observation hours in a foreign language class and I’m sure that class wasn’t suited for him. I felt terribly for the student because the teacher couldn’t dedicate the time to him the amount of time that he obviously needed. Her way of trying to help him learn the material at first was to group him with others class member. However, I saw that tactic not working. This teach is really into being nice to each other but and when she see her student not being nice to each other she stepped in but it hard to stay on top of everything

    An ELL student is described as a linguistically and culturally diverse student who is learning the English language in addition to his or her native language. In my current fieldwork experience and to the best of my knowledge, there are no ELLs students attending any of the classes that I currently observe. From what I’ve observed, the classes I attend are not highly diversified by ELL’s, those students who are, seem to speak English fluently with no noticeable difficulty. Therefore, I am unable to give any descriptions on learning accommodations as of now on ELL’s. However, there were many lessons that did observe that accommodated different learning styles, that would also help ELL students if they were present in the classroom, such as, visual, auditory and tactile learning accommodations.…

    Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition where remarkable gender differences have been observed in the recent past. With that said, there has been few longitudinal studies that investigate gender/sex differences in individuals with ASD, and there is still much to learn about how and why ASD affects it affects the genders differently (May, 20__, p.1078). Perhaps the most important issue that arises when ASD is investigated through a gendered lens is that of the vast disparity in the diagnosis of ASD between boys and girls. As Harrop et al. (2014, p.766) note, there is a 4 to 1 average “male dominance” in the diagnoses of ASD in children, Harrop further notes that this ratio can rise to as high 8 to 1 when particular types of autism are being diagnosed.…
