Temple Grandin's Caregivers Of ASD Children

S: Page 315 mainly discusses the use of technology with children that have ASD, and their wellness, including health and safety, physical education, and sensory motor

Research designs will be a mixed measures design such as a combination of a typical experiment and other forms of non-experimental designs. Procedures will be used in this research will be audio and video recording, audio and video editing, researchers and confederate will observe children and their families, in addition to ask open and closed ended questions to children, parents, teachers, and school administrators. Younger children would benefit from play therapy, whereas older children would benefit from written and spoken journals in addition to additional learning time in respite care. What are the necessary steps, procedures, and funding to help these children, teens, and young adults with ASD to become overachievers in academic, vocational, and professional settings?

There is a person with autism and her name is Temple Grandin. Now you're probably saying why do I care, because she is the world's most knowledgeable person in livestock handling. Here is some of her history. She was born in August 29, 1947 (age 69 years), Boston, MA. She has been in one movie and this is the name of it, In the Woods, Speciesism: The Movie, ARTS: A Film About Possibilities, Disabilities & the Arts. Her parents are, Eustacia Cutler,and Richard Grandin. She got her education at Franklin Pierce University, Hampshire Country School, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Arizona State University. She also works at Colorado state university. Also some of the things she influenced in the autistic people. She goes to places and

Dr. Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism in the early 1950s. Although autism was discovered decades before this, the disorder wasn’t truly understood as people were panicking and blaming it on whatever seemed logical at the time. Grandin’s mother was labeled a “refrigerator mother,” which means she was thought to be a closed, distant mother who paid little attention to her daughter. This “abandonment” caused an increase in antisocial and repetitive behaviors associated with the disorder. Decades later, a single study showed that vaccines caused autism, but it was soon proved false. The symptoms of autism develop at the same time vaccines are recommended to start. There is no connection between the two other than the coincidence of time,

In the book, the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime the main character, who lives with autism spectrum disorder, says “And I know I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything.” (pg 221) People who live with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often times suffer from many communication and other social roadblocks. Despite these roadblocks the individual's intelligence and ambition prevail and push those individuals thrive. Throughout history, there have been multiple influential and innovative scientist, researchers ad engineers that live with ASD. One of the most influential being, Temple Grandin, who engineered new humane ways for livestock in the agriculture industry and had gone on to be a motivational speaker and written books about living with her disease. Christopher Boone, the narrator in the novel, the curious incident of the dog in the night-time, is on the same track that Temple Grandin was once on. In many instances individuals with autism are seen as being incapable of achieving higher education and using their intelligence to make any sort of change. People like Temple Grandin and Christopher Boone change this stereotype and use their ambition and intelligence against all odds. In order to reach the fullest potential in society, the world must have different kinds of minds, ambitious young people and must understand all aspects of Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Temple Grandin spoke about autism and how people need to change their thinking about this disorder. She mention that she was a visual learner and how many children think different from the typical child. Temple mentions how people need to change their thinking about children with autism. She mentions that schools need to have more hands on classes as in auto shop and art. People need to understand that all children that are diagnosed with autism can have similar symptoms of the disorder, but not all child with autism are the same. Temple also mentions that children that have autism need early intervention and mentors are essentially in helping children who have autism. Mentors can help show children and teenagers different skills as in coming

In the article, “Family Connections: Visual Supports for Promoting Social Skills in Young Children: A Family Perspective,” (2012), it speaks about how children who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to have a difficult time with social, emotional, and other behavior challenges at home. This can be a very difficult thing when trying to communicate and trying to build relationships with people. The article states that, “many children with ASD require specialized supports to experience success in developing social interaction and communication skills” (Moody, 2012, p. 191). Therefore, the article suggests that using visual supports are very effective. Furthermore, it discusses how important social skills are, how visual supports can

There is little research to examine experiences and needs of individuals with ASD, or proper and effective support systems such as educational and family support needed for young adults making this transition. Most information that is provided on this topic is based on professional’s experience and knowledge. It is essential more research is provided to develop programs to help individuals transition from secondary education to higher

The term autism currently holds a meaning that is significantly different than when it was first adopted into our vocabulary in the 1960’s. The evolution of scientific discoveries within the field of autism research is remarkable and consistently improving. With the prevalence of autism continuing to reach sky rocketing numbers, the inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in the school system is extremely important. Every child has the right to obtain an education and finding new methods that provide this for children with ASD is vital. Creating programs and techniques that can be personalized to a child is the key to them receiving the most out of their education. Discrete trial teaching, pivotal response treatment and picture

On researching the historical, theoretical and clinical perspectives regarding ASD, I found the information concerning the Triad of Impairments especially interesting as it explains the main difficulties I encounter within my profession, being that of problems in social communication, interaction and imagination. I had previously considered these secondary issues resulting from ASD and not the primary aspects. On realising this, it has helped me revise my practice into dealing with these principal characteristics instead of treating them as a derivative cause.

Therefore a study was done on one specific child named Tarah who has been diagnosed with dual diagnose and mental retardation. The study was to determine first if having visual cues are good ideas, second was what other support strategies are there to help children who are dual diagnosed and last when are children who are dual diagnosed might want to monitor their own behavior. With all of these three ideas being studied the results were surprising. From the study the researchers first discovered that visual cues do indeed help immensely when they are being involved in helping special educated individuals with dual diagnosis (Drake). The next result from the study was that the researchers discovered that in addition to visual cues the visual schedules, rating scale and comic strips were all helpful with special educated individuals with dual diagnosis. One more surprising result was that that was when a student becomes more satisfied with how they are doing the more they would want to push their selves to the next

Studies have shown special education students who are dual diagnosis will be treated with insufficient care (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). Nevertheless there is hope and it’s called a visual aid (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). Research has determined that the different types of visual aid that are helpful with students who are dual diagnosis are icons, comic strips, visual cues, choice boards and token boards for doing a decent job (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). With seeing that students can be taught using visual aide a recent study was conducted on the effectiveness of using visual aids (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). The recent study was conducted on children who has been diagnosed with dual diagnose and show signs of mental retardation (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). In the study there were three specific ideas that the researchers where able to concluded (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). The first result was that it was discovered that visual cues do indeed help immensely when they are being involved in helping students (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). The second result was that in addition to visual cues the visual schedules, rating scale and comic strips were all helpful with special educated individuals with dual diagnosis (Jamie & Knowlton, 2007). And the last result from the study was that when a student becomes more satisfied the more they would need to push their selves to the next level (Jamie & Knowlton,

The topic for today's reading was Augmentative Communication Systems-Sign Languages, PECS. In the assigned reading and module, we observe that a characteristic of autism is difficulty developing and using verbal speech to communicate with others. The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is used to help children with autism to develop a system for communicating with others across multiple environments. It is used most often with learners that are non-verbal, but can also be used with learners with limited verbal skills. PECS can be used across age ranges, starting in preschool, to help individuals with ASD communicate with others. In fact, research has shown that learners can use PECS to increases their work production

Several studies have been conducted which focuses the needs for a young child with ASD. The article by Brown et al. (2012) aims to discover the areas where there is an unmet need for information, services, and resources among the families of the school-aged child with ASD. The researchers use a cross-sectional survey to conduct the study among 101 Canadian families who have a school-aged child with ASD. The “Family Needs Questioner” (Siklos & Kerns, 2006, as cited in Brown et. al, 2012, p. 499) is used to complete the survey, and more questions are added by the researcher to further gather information about the family and their child with ASD (Brown et. al, 2012). The questionnaire has identified

Temple Grandin was able to do amazing things for agriculture even though she struggled with severe autism. She also changed many things in the way animals were handled and treated. Temple was able to set standards higher not only for those who had autism to lead better lives, but also for animals to getter the treatment and care they deserve.
