The title of the peer reviewed article that I researched was Using Photographs of Contrasting Contextual Complexity to Support Classroom Transitions for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. It was published in November 25, 2014. The focus of this journal article is to determine the impact of high-context and no-context photographs used with students with ADS to transition to play activities. “The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of high-content photograph with no-context photographs on the amount of tome and prompts needed for a group of children with ADS to transition to interactive play activities with classroom peers.” The study consisted of three students who were found through local public school Early Childhood Education

This lead the examiners to think about future studies. The examiners thought that future research could involve a dynamic display to help assist the student. “For example, one photo might depict the destination in the classroom, and the next photo could depict a high-context photograph of what to do at the destination.” The examiners used toys for this study that were highly interactive. They thought that future research should consist of high-context photographs of toys used in the classroom setting. Not all toys in the classroom setting are as highly interactive as the ones that were used for this research. The researchers also feel that future research should be explored on high-context photographs differ on students with various learning needs. Students who are more challenged learners, such as Sage, may benefit from the high-context …show more content…
I knew based on what we have been study and discussing over the last few weekend and by my own personal experience with students with autism, that visuals were important. I never considered the differences between no-context and high-context photographs. When I first looked at the study and purpose of this study, I have a predetermined outcome in my mind before I even read the study. I believed the outcome would determine that the high-contextual photographs would be the most effective way for the students to transition. When I finished reading the study and reviewed the findings of the examiners I learned something. I also remembered the Theory of Multiple Intelligence by Howard Gardner. “Students learn in ways that are identifiably distinctive. The broad spectrum of students - and perhaps the society as a whole - would be better served if disciplines could be presented in a numbers of ways.” (Lane, 2002). All students learn differently and in various ways. Students whether they are on the spectrum or not have multiple intelligences and learn is various ways. It is something that I know, but yet I thought this outcome would be the high-contextual photographs would be more meaningful and have the best outcome with all the students in the
