Continuing My Advocacy Efforts
As I prepare my presentation, I have been able to refelct on my teaching experiences. I have also begun t realize, plan, and organize my long-term goals. As I prepare my information for the presemtation, I am researching Early Autism Studies. The earlier a child recieves treatment the better outcome is to likely to be. Treatment starts with a focus on social skills. During the last few years, screening instruments have been devised to screen children for Asperger's Syndrome and higher functioning autism. The Autism Spectrum Screening Questionaire (ASSQ), the Australian Scale for Asperger's Syndrome and the Childhood Aspergers Syndrome Test (CAST) are some of the instruments that are reliable for identification of school-age children with autism. The tools concentrate on social and behavioral impairments in children without significant language delays. Although there are no single test that is best for ASD,I encourage people togather as much information about ASD before they finalize treatment. My long-term goal requires me to search for programs and facilities for ASD.

Dear Tasha, i can see you preparing for this great advocacy plan. deep inside of me i know that you will pull straight out of so many questions that you might have. I never realized that there was an ASSQ, for children who might have, "Aspergers Syndrome, i do not know what this term means at all. You will shine so many details in your presentation as well as at Kendall when you present to the class. Wow, i can not wait to hear all the information regarding your topic.
ReplyDeleteWhen i was listening to your advocacy plan i was like, "Wow, you are a truly amazed." I am so glad that you have found a job also. I wish that you would have applied at my center, you would have been a great part of El Hogar. If you ever need a job, keep me in your mind!
