Causes of autism

I was at Easter Seals Lilly Academy this week which consisted of three teachers. There was no occupational therapist or any other therapist at the facility. If a child needed therapy, they received it outside of the school. Sometimes the therapist will speak with the teachers and let them know what individual needs and skills the student is addressing in therapy and the teachers will incorporate that into the school as best as they can. Easter Seals School was a school for children with special…

intend to work on identifying early indicators of autism so that we can develop assessments that are reliable in diagnosing autism at an earlier age. The earlier that we can begin shaping the child’s environment to maximize his or her learning, the better chance the child will have for a healthy and happy independent life. I am also eager to work on developing non-pharmacological interventions that target areas of difficulty for children with autism, such as auditory processing, receptive…

The study is a correlational study between murders and whether either ASD or head injury occurred. Head injury or ASD and murder can be considered a bidirectional causation as they could cause the conditions that lead to one another. For instance, the case of Jeffery Dahmer whom may have had a possible ASD with psychological stress in childhood. Dahmer had difficulty with nonverbal cues, lack a variety of facial expression, and rigid body…

Parent Directed Sensory Based Intervention Occupational Therapy is one of the leading treatment choices by families that have children whom are afflicted with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). One of the most formative treatments used by occupational therapist to combat ASD is sensory integration.

Instead of showing emotion Christopher, like he normally does, supplies a logical analysis and explanation for the situation. A child who suffers with autism accepts scenarios rather than coping through emotional reactions. Autistic people do this to prevent themselves from wasting time trying to reason through something with emotion, because it is something that they already understand. However,…

Invisible Children Several people utilize the word “narration”, but it is unfortunate that they do not have the idea of what it means. Narration is simply to give account of events informing what occurred at a particular time and place. Narratives are written for several reasons such as to explain events, to entertain, to connect with others, and to persuade others to accept a specific point of view. The sanctuary of school by Lynda Barry is a good narrative account whose effect and results of…

The Art of Sign Language American Sign Language, or ASL, is just like every other language in the world. It has its own roots, grammar, and pronunciations.

American Sign Language has no set origin. Karen Nakamura…
