This portfolio will introduce Autism Spectrum Disorder, Hearing Impairment, Gifted and Talented Students and Challenging Behaviour in the classroom as example of various learner types and discuss learning competencies and challenges, and then provide possible engagement strategies for each of those learner types. Part B of this portfolio will discuss four teaching strategies that are likely to engage students with autism spectrum disorder. Autism Spectrum Disorder “Autism Spectrum Disorder” (ASD) is
these research activities, teachers embrace change in pedagogical strategies and learn how to best understand their students and the learning environment. These in turn opens avenues for differentiated instruction. Differentiated instruction is a teaching strategy that varies teaching techniques depending on individual student needs to meet the student at their points of need. Meeting students at their points of need and teaching them required content based using the most appropriate method should
Autism spectrum disorder is a complex disorder of brain development characterized by early onset difficulties in social communication, behavior, and sensory processing (Webb, 2009). Although, based on the child, symptoms can vary widely within each of these areas.

The incidence
Using the appropriate teaching strategies are essential in promoting a healthy learning environment; however, there are challenges with every instructor because every student have their own way of learning, especially with mainstreaming students with special needs. Since laws were passed like The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), there has been a standard of learning that each student have to master in order to graduate high school

Plethora of instructional formats can be used by teachers when teaching children with autism. Some of the instructional formats commonly used with children with ASD include small group instruction, one-on-one instruction, peer-mediated instruction, discrete trial and direct instruction. Use of reinforcement can be highly effective when delivering instruction to children with autism. Several forms of reinforcement can be utilized to increase desired behavior, such as use of computers, edibles, toys
