A balanced approach is critical when educating students with ASD. Due to the neurological pathways in the brain differing from those of neurotypicals, heavy support is needed in the realms of social play, education plans, and learning environments. Like Daisy said, implementing this change will offer a new way for the student to positively experience their peers in their own way. Fostering a more inclusive and accepting school community will highlight the key areas of development that need to be taken. Minimizing sensory overload, encouraging self-regulation, and individualized instruction will provide a sense of comfort and support when students with ASD develop coping mechanisms in different environments. Training teachers on ASD is highly important so support in a classroom is present at all times.
Your poster was very informative and had lots of visual representations to understand your topic, and strengthen your stance. Your poster made me think about how lack of EIP’s affect the educational growth of children on the spectrum. In certain communities, lack of funding and support makes it difficult for children to obtain EIP’s. I think including how social workers can help enact hybrid models would have been nice to include. Overall great job.
Daisy,
I appreciate your stance on the educational accessibility for children with ASD. This hybrid model that you proposed will surely benefit children on the Autism Spectrum. It is especially important to consider the individual needs of each child, which would aid in designing an educational model that best fits their needs. Prioritizing general education settings encourages social interaction, which is essential for children with ASD.
I believe implementing hybrid models would be incredibly helpful being children with ASD thrive on routine as well as the other benefits you have listed. I found the poster informative and easily understood listing what exactly ASD is for those who may not understand the full complexities. I think this topic as well is very needed and should have more efforts put into assistance for children with ASD and your attention to this topic I think was very thought out and well informed.
