Children with Autism: Learning How to Learn

[sammee1209]

I am wondering when the children move from shoe box tasks to academic curriculum and how?

[jonessmithGB]

TEACCH was the only method my son responded too, since he was put into an ABA school by our local authority, he lost all speech and in diapers aged 17 after 12 years of AbA

I have been looking for different activities to try with my son. I can use some of the ideas that you displayed here.

Thank you.

cool

[soggydiamond]

Very cool! What great stuff. Im very impressed. I cant wait to try this type of stuff with the students I work with.

My son is 4 and nothing caused his Autism. He was autistic from the moment he was born (or before). His dad is Asperger's. There is no cure, but therapies help a lot.

[sftemp07]

i would love to try this sort of thing with the special needs children i work with. i bet they would have fun and be very engaged.

I have a 6 yr old autistic daughter. From my observations of my own daughter, I think autism is due to abnormality in the brain structure or the in the way brain chemicals work and it is most likely created during the early formation days after conception. The recent creation of the term Autistic spectrum is what causing all the confusion among parents who have kids who are not truly autistic (classic), but have varying degrees of learning or sensory integration issues classified under spectrum

[sskgrs]

People like Jenny Mcarthy are just brain washing people into thinking that GF/CF and other holistic diet/supplements would cure autism. Certainly having a holistic balanced food/supplements would be beneficial to any kid (autistic or not), but to claim that it cures autism is stupid. Jenny just makes her millions with books and TV shows spreading these nonsense. As far as vaccine link, the british doctors who came up with this theory were sued by British govt recently.

[JAPAN180SX]

better watch our comments. there are thousands of parents that believe it is not coincidence that their child caught autism right after a high dose of vaccinations and you cant do anything to change their minds as they saw it happen in front of their own eyes. we see what the media says, we also know what really happened, so unless you are directly involved, dont post rumors. research mercury poisoning and autism and tell me thats a coincidence

[AnElephantThatPaints]

Some parents will believe anything that makes sense. I am not going to sugarcoat the truth for them, because the vaccine theory IS proven to be utter bullshit. I feel sorry for the parents who wasted their $ on detoxifications instead of using practical therapy which usually works.

[tattoochuck]

@AnElephantThatPaints ahhh the vaccine theory..although covered up by most ,some doctors and scientist will say yes the vaccine shots can cause damage to the child at which leaving him/her , a highly functioning child with autisum...as far as reversing it yes that is utter bullshit...

[TheRealVenna]

@JAPAN180SX Autism cannot be caught. It's developmental, from conception. Would it shock you to know when autism was first recognized it was said to be caused because the children had cold mothers? This has also been proven incorrect of course and yet there are those out there still spouting this drivel. The vaccine thing is a simple COINCIDENCE because it is received at the same time most children begin to display autistic characteristics. If a vaccine caused it, everyone would be autistic.

[timisthebestever1]

It depends on what side of the spectrum they are on.. Some autistic children are geniuses in some areas. My son has aspergers.

[jaworskij]

Autism is clearly caused by a vaccine.

Autism was very, very rare until the last 15-20 years or so.

Ask Dr. Rebecca Carley. She has an autistic son, but found out how to "deprogram" him and heal him.

[brunilda]

Jaworskij:

How many times are we going to hear this? I understand parents' frustration and need to know, but you're not helping anybody. We HAVE LOOKED for evidence of vaccine involvement and have found NONE. Moreover, increase in diagnosis is likely to be a result of change in guidelines and more people being diagnosed on the spectrum for them to get treatment (or then, there were no diagnoses of autism before 1943. What happened in 1943? Penicillin??? NO, Kanner described the syndrome...)

[brunilda]

... there obviously WERE cases of autism before)

We are acutely conscious that environmental factors may exacerbate genetic predispositions... what those factors are, we don't know, but vaccines are a poor candidate. There is much we don't know but there is a TON of evidence that autism is mainly a genetic disorder

[gamiezion]

being autistic mself enables me to recognise autism in the work of any given writer (to a certain degree of accusrasy) no matter the subject they wrote on.

i can trace autistic mindsets all the way back to when the written word came into common use (roughly 4000 years ago), care to explain?

oh and the autism cure is about as reall as bigfoot, el chupacabre, nessie and all the other myths, legends and flights of fantasy you can think off

[FASSY524]

That looks fun for me and Im not even autistic! I think autism is nothing to be ashamed of at all. I wanna work with autistic children really badly now! They seem way smarter then people are saying!

[apostolicaspie]

No wonder they develop so slowly. Seriously, if I had a low functioning Autistic child in my care, I would use something that developed him/her to be more four dimensional. Heaven knows I know they could achieve it. But that would be what I'll be going to college for.

[AnElephantThatPaints]

If you want to help autistic kids, better take a look at the autistic insight and not just read books written by professionals like Bryna Siegal. Jasmione o Neil, Temple Grandin, and Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay are excellent starters, because they are not even Aspergers autistics. Don't fall into believing the 1990's myth that 80% of autistics are mentally retarded. Just because one may not speak, it does not mean he/she has nothing to say!

[apostolicaspie]

@AnElephantThatPaints I know that myself, quite well. I've changed a lot in ten months. I was ignorant. But, I do believe that I know what mainly causes the severity of Autism. The only books I've read about ASD are the DSM, Thinking in Pictures, and Emergence: Labelled Autistic. I'll be back later.

[AnnaMC6NTAE]

Thanks for this video. It is great!

[patowensbryant]

Very good for educators and parents

[jherom20]

Great upload! It helped me a lot.

[lafemdilletante]

these types of structured work tasks can be easily made at home at less than a quarter the cost- save your money.

[mamalusk]

This is great! Can these tasks be bought somewhere??? (I'm from Norway...)

[AspieCub]

Check up his main site:

Shoebox Tasks and you can purchase them.
