Searching for the right school for a child with an autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) opens up a huge and complicated world, and it can be
difficult to know where to begin. What should you look out for in a
school? What questions should you ask? How do you choose between
different educational approaches and programmes? This accessible
guide cuts through all of the jargon surrounding special
educational needs (SEN) and walks parents and professionals through
the entire journey of securing appropriate educational provision
for a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The author
explains the implications of having, or not having, a diagnosis;
how to obtain a Statement of SEN; how to find and secure an
appropriate school; and how to work effectively with outside
agencies. She provides clear explanations of all of the legal
aspects of the process, including SEN law, the SEN Code of Practice
and the new guidelines for SEND tribunals. Recognising that
mainstream schooling is not the best option in every case, she also
shows that independent schools and home-schooling can be viable
options in some cases. A multitude of useful resources, websites
and other sources of further information are also included. Whether
you are the parent or carer of a child with ASD, or a professional
working with children with autism, the ideas and information in
this book will steer you through the complex maze of issues
surrounding how to secure appropriate education provision for
children with ASD.
Can you imagine not being able to recognize those you know if they
wore glasses, changed their hairstyle, or perhaps put on a hat?
Prosopagnosia is a severe facial recognition disorder that is
thought to impact around two per cent of the population. Frequently
found in children on the autism spectrum, those with the condition
have difficulties distinguishing between one face and the next,
meaning that they may not recognize even those who are closest to
them. Nancy L. Mindick provides parents, teachers, and other
professionals with an accessible explanation of the different
types, causes, and characteristics of prosopagnosia. Providing an
insider's perspective on the condition, she suggests ways to
recognize the signs of facial recognition difficulties in children,
and offers specific ideas for ensuring that they are properly
supported in their learning and social development. The issues of
diagnosis and disclosure are explored, and the author offers
practical management strategies for helping children to cope with
the condition and to navigate the many different social situations
they will encounter at home, at school, and in the community. This
book offers specific, practical information for parents, teachers,
child psychologists, and anyone else who wishes to support the
learning and development of a child with a facial recognition
disorder.
Groundbreaking innovations have paved the way for new assistive
approaches to support students with special needs. New
technological innovations such as smart mobile devices and apps,
wearable devices, web-based monitoring and support systems,
artificial intelligence, and more are changing the way in which
care and support can be given to students with special needs. These
technologies range from encouraging self-care and independent
living to supporting the completion of academic work, accommodating
cognitive disabilities, or even supporting communication and
socialization. The applications of assistive technologies are
widespread and diverse in the ways in which the technology itself
can be utilized and the people it can support. The increasing
developments in technology are bringing in a new way of
interventions for all types of students with diverse special needs
in the modern educational atmosphere. Technology-Supported
Interventions for Students With Special Needs in the 21st Century
covers effective assistive modern technologies for overcoming
specific challenges encountered by students with special needs for
promoting their learning and development, educational attainment,
social engagement, self-sufficiency, and quality of life. This book
presents an overview of contemporary assistive tools and approaches
integrated with digital technologies for students with special
needs; shares findings of cutting-edge research on using digital
technologies; provides evidence-based digital
technology-facilitated tools and strategies for effective
diagnosis, treatment, educational intervention, and care of
students with special needs; and identifies promising areas and
directions for future innovations, applications, and research. It
is ideal for classroom teachers, special educators, educational
technologists, intervention specialists, medical professionals,
caregivers, administrators, policymakers, teacher educators,
researchers, academicians, and students interested in the use of
assistive technologies for students with special needs in the
digital era.
