Autism Spectrum Summary

In this paper we will be using the “Course Case Study” to describe the ethical issues to cultural competence, we will look at the influence of personal values related to the diversity issues, how they come to exist in the handling the situation (Argosy University, 2014). Using the ACA and APA ethical codes, we find the recommendations that would arise from these. At the end, we will apply specific ethical principles that appear in this study and in the counselors own counseling sessions with clients. Using the ethical codes, it will help for counselors to look at the case study and develop their own reasoning with pointing out the codes that apply with in a counseling protocol.

Because multicultural counseling can have a myriad of people with different personalities and backgrounds, many ethical procedures cannot address all the circumstances that a counselor could come across. According to Diller (2011) it is critical when preparing to work with clients of a particular ethnic group by doing research into the group’s history, culture, and health issues (p. 320). This would include not only academic, professional, or web searches, but travel,

Autism is a subject need to be study in cooperation with care givers, doctors and school. Autism is developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. My research paper is about autism which is a disease that affects our children communication skills and learning development. Children and young adult who have been diagnosed with autism are more likely to be alone. Also it can reflect on the family relationships, but there are several ways to control a child who has ASD. We can see now many of families have a child or two with kind of autism in most of the state of America. Autism disorder is kind of desired effects children as early as 2 years old. It is effect their behavioral

Great post! I like how you applied participants from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In section A of the ACA code of ethics (2014), it focuses on the counseling relationship, that they encourage to actively attempt to understand the diverse culture backgrounds of the clients they serve.

Childhood Autism Rating Scale, Second Edition by Schopler, Eric; Van Bourgondien, Mary E.; Wellman, G. Janette; Love, Steven R. Published by Western Psychological Services, 625 Alaska Ave., Torrance, CA, 90503-5124. The test is geared for ages 2 through 5 but can be administered to older individuals if their estimated IQ is below 79. The test is administered in a group and takes 5-10 minutes. The 2012 price data estimates $158 per complete test kit including 25 Standard Version rating booklets, 25 High-Functioning rating booklets, 25 Questionnaires for Parents or Caregivers, and manual; $37 per 25 Standard Version rating booklets; $37 per 25 High-Functioning rating booklets; $26 per 25 Questionnaires for Parents or Caregivers; $74 per manual.

Psychologists are expected to perform their duties ethically to culturally diverse clients. It is essential to remain culturally sensitive and at times psychologists have been questioned regarding how culturally sensitive they are. This is also mandated by ethics codes like the American Psychological Association. Using the APA Ethical Principles for Psychologists and Code of Conduct, I will review what I believe is culturally biased and culturally encapsulated. I will review one or more of the existing ethical codes and discuss the limitations of this code(s) for multicultural professional practice. Next I will see if there is

Cultural competence can become an ethical issue when a clinician is unaware the sensitivity of the clients in which the clinician is providing counseling. A great example from Chp. 4 is the case of the (indian; words means more than action). An effective preparation for counselor to deal with cultural competence-ethical issue is to familiarize with the demographic area where the counselor is practicing. Further, the counselor should learn more of the dominate ethnicities in their demographic areas that way the counselor is well prepared for cultural diversity counseling.

In contrast to help received as an ASD child, services and overall well-being as an ASD adult are lacking. In the article “Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorders,” the authors describe that there is limited support and interventions for individuals with Autism who are over the age of 18 (Howlin and Moss, 2011, p.275). Howlin and Moss state, “The findings indicate that, as adults, many people with ASD, including those of normal IQ, are significantly disadvantaged regarding employment, social relationships, physical and mental health, and quality of life” (2011, p. 275). What makes the situation worse is there is little research being conducted to aid Autistic adults, especially ones over the age of 30 (Howling and Moss, 2011, p. 275). It is

Proper and applicable assessment measures are the foundation to evidence-based assessments. For psychologists, it is critical to choose the best assessment tools that can provide the most reliable and valid measures to give accurate suggestions about the most relevant intervention procedures. Application of psychometrically valid tools and significant data assembly is decisive for optimal intervention at the early stages of the diagnosis of the Autism Spectrum Disorder.

This is a topic that is especially important and to me because in my job, I do behavior modification with children that are on the autism spectrum. This neurological disorder is a brain development condition that interferes with social interaction and can cause communication challenges. This is not a visible disorder, those that have autism look just like everyone else. There are many factors that make someone more likely to have autism, but experts have not yet discovered all of the potential causes. There is no cure for this disorder.

Having Autism makes it hard to socialize, and it makes it hard to be socially accepted, especially when someone is told they’re different. When someone is told they’re different, they start treating themselves differently, they pull themselves away from society, believing that no one will ever accept them because they’re a little different. When the symptoms first start appearing they cause a noticeable difference and a change in the mindset of the person who has it, which leads to causes, some scientists say that the brain development disorder comes from the mercury in the shots some kids receive as small children. When the symptoms start showing up family starts worrying and when they find out that their child/sibling has autism they can become emotionally distraught. One in ever hundred people has autism. That means that a being percentage of the world needs our help, our friendship, and our acceptance of the beautiful unique people that

According to the CDC, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an umbrella term that includes a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. It affects a significant number of individuals in the United States, with the prevalence continuing to grow (Frye, 2014). A significant proportion of individuals with ASD also experience medical conditions such as epilepsy. In fact, treatment resistant epilepsy appears to have a higher prevalence in children with ASD than in children without ASD (Frye 2014). Many children with ASD also appear to have underlying metabolic conditions, including disorders of vitamin metabolism. Biotin, a vitamin of the B complex, is composed of ureido ring fused with a tetrahydrothiophene ring and is involved in the regulation of metabolism amongst many other vital life functions. Biotinidase deficiency is caused by mutations in BTD gene (located on the short p arm of chromosome 3 at position 25), which results in a deficiency of the biotinidase enzyme, an enzyme that is needed to recycle biotin, an essential cofactor for several carboxylase enzymes (Frye, 2014). Symptoms include seizures, developmental delays, skin rash, alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, feeding difficulties, vomiting, diarrhea, brain atrophy and ataxia. (Frye, 2014). The identification and treatment of biotin disorders could improve the underlying metabolic derangements and potentially improve behavior and seizure frequency

The ACA Code of Ethics preamble directs counselors to honor diversity and “embrace a multicultural approach in support of the worth, dignity, potential, and uniqueness of people within their social and cultural contexts” (American Counseling Association, 2014, p. 3).

The topic of investigation for this paper is effective techniques for helping students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) succeed in school. Communication and socialization were the two areas of focus. If students with ASD are helped in these two areas, the likelihood of success in school increases. With ASD increasing, literature reviews with effective techniques can assist school personnel in selecting the best options for students with ASD in less time than completing formal research. This is a topic of interest to me, because of two reasons. One reason is my work

Many decades have passed since Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) was first introduced to the school system. With the increase in students with ASD, it has been essential for special and general education teachers to be prepared with the necessary skills to perform and provide high quality instruction. One major focus for high quality instruction is in the area of reading for these students. The five major components for reading success are phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
