Incluziunea colar a copiilor cu autism

Incluziunea colar a copiilor cu autismPsiholog Drd. Cristina Costescu Ce este autismul?Tulburare neurobiologicCaracterizat de o triad de deficite(Wing & Gould, 1979) Deficit de flexibilitate comportamental (comportamente restrictive i stereotipe)

Deficit Deficit de de comunicare interaciune social conform DSM IV-R Psihologul colar ??? Creterea prevalenei tulburrilor de spectru autist

acceentul pe intergrarea n societate

U.S. Department of Education (DOE):

din 19911992 n 20012002 an colar, numrul copiilor cu autism din colile speciale a crescut cu 1300%, de la 5415 la 78,749. Psihologul colarHoagwood and Johnson (2003): psihologul colar are rolul de:

- a facilita incluziunea colar a copilului cu autism n colile i grdiniele de mas (prin intermediul tehnicilor psihologice de intervenie i prin instrustruirea personalului i a celorlai elevi)

inta interveniilor: faciliteze dezvoltarea social i a limbajului s reduc din problemele comportamentale (comportament ritualistic, agresivitate sau hiperactivitate) s determine dezvoltarea unor aptitudini pentru funcionarea independenta s ajute familiile s fac fa problemelor specifice cu care se confrunt

Terapii validate tiinific n autism presupune integrarea celor mai riguroase cercetri precum i a expertizei clinice n contextul caracteristicilor individuale, valorice, culturale dar i prefereniale ale acestuia (Cit. n Mesibov, 2009)

Integrarea -> procesul de asimilare a elevului n cadrul nvmntului normal, proces prin care elevul se adapteaz colii n timp ce aceasta rmne, n cea mai mare parte, neschimbat.

Incluziunea -> colile i sistemul educaional, n general, se schimb i se adapteaz nevoilor elevului (M. Ainscow, 1998, Kisaji, 1999)

Lessons by Emerging Age and Function:3737Lessons in ORANGE had a change in name. Verbal Imitation was changed to Echoics. Rec commands to FI; Gestures and Facial Expressions split into Gestures (staying in language) but Facial Expressions when into Social Skills in a lesson called Body Language and Facial Expressions. Sound Discrimination and Recall now called Sound Discrimination. People to People and Relationships, Attribute-Object to Attributes, Asking for Information to Manding for Information, Describe by Category, Feature and Function to Describe.

Lessons in BLUE are new: Basic Mands and Adverbs.

Audio and Video PlayComputer PlayVideo Games3838Beginning Play was split into three lessons and expanded.

Interactive Play involves four new lessons listed in blue. Early Social Games involve things like peek-a-boo, pat-a-cake, and Im gonna get you. Read-to-me books and nursery rhymes introduces the child to beginning book play: sitting, attending, turning pages, and fill-ins. Music and Movement contains one section of the old Choral Activities lesson which is to learn to sing songs with and without finger and hand motions, it also includes the imitation of sound speed and duration with instruments that used to be the lesson called Sound speed in duration, in addition to many other music concepts such as dance. Treasure Hunt is new. It includes object permanence and gets as advanced as hunting for items using a map or written clues. The lessons in orange are not new, but just have new names. Card and Board Games was previously called Games with Rules. Locomotor Play was previously called Practice and Gross Motor Play. Peer play was previously called Social Play.

Pretend play is still the same.Electronic Play is a new area. It Audio and Video Play, Computer play, and video games.Constructive Play includes Block imitation and the old constructive play lesson was expanded into 4 new lessons in an effort to provide more ideas, but the structure of the SDs are the same.

Adaptive Curriculum3939All of the blue lessons listed here are new. In the personal domain, the old Utensil Use lesson was added to the Feeding lesson. The feeding lesson does not include extensive procedure for treating feeding problems, as SOS putting together their own curriculum on that topic. Grooming lesson was split into Teeth Care and Hair Care which are now extensive and include using mouthwash, flossing, and styling hair. Preventing the Spread of Germs includes things like washing hands, covering mouth when coughing / sneezing, using a kleenix to blow nose, and avoiding sharing germs w/ sick people. Nail care is self-explanatory. Health care includes applying sunscreen, caring for minor cuts, following diets, and taking medications.

The new domestic skills are all pretty self-explanatory.

The Safety equipment lesson teaches the child to wear safety equipment and use equipment to keep personal belongings safe.

In the community domain, shopping and restaurant readiness teaches basic skills for those settings.

Task Analyses have been added to all the lessons in this curriculum for skills that require multiple steps.Motor CurriculumOral MotorOcular MotilityBinocular Vision SkillsVisual PerceptionHand SkillsColoringFinger SkillsDrawingPre-HandwritingCutting with Scissors

The sections can all be worked on simultaneously and in fact some of the visual motor lessons may improve the childs ability for visual motor integration into fine and gross motor skills. Given that, Im going to start at the top of the pyramid and work my way down. By the way, all the blue lesson names are new lessons in this curriculum.

Oral motor is basically a new lesson, as oral motor was originally part of the Verbal Imitation (now called Echoics) lesson. The oral motor lesson was written by one of our future SLPs and is intended to be used as a supplement to the echoics lesson so that when the child has problems with articulation, the mouth movements associated with producing the phoneme can be practiced in conjunction with the phoneme that is being taught in echoics. This strategy is based on an approach which emphasizes that oral motor exercises should not be practiced in isolation but should be practiced in conjunction with echoics and be functional for producing speech sounds.

All the visual motor lessons are new. Ocular Motility refers to eye movements such as fixation, pursuits (which is a fancy way of saying tracking), and saccades (which is fancy way of saying scanning). Binocular vision skills refers to using both eyes simultaneously to view objects and scenes. In this lesson, we work on convergence which is when the eyes turn inward as objects come closer and closer to the face in order to maintain a single 3d image (as opposed to a double image) and stereopsis which involves teaming both eyes so that images seen by each eye result in seeing one image. This is done by having the child follow close behind you and stopping suddenly to teach him /her when to stop to avoid bumping into you or swinging a ball hanging from a string and ceiling towards child until they can catch it.

Visual Perception works on fine visual discriminations such as sorting puzzle pieces by those w/ flat edges or those with a bit of blue in them to be used for the sky. Also works on visual spatial and orientation relations such as if I put four blocks in a tube in this order and then turn the tube 180 degrees, which order will they come out from the left side?Social Skills CurriculumAbsurditiesGroupRelated SkillsSocial RulesSocial ContextSelf EsteemSocial InteractionSocialLanguageNon-VocalSocial SkillsGroup Related SkillsResponding in UnisonGroup DiscussionNon-Vocal Eye ContactNon-Vocal ImitationBody Language & Facial ExpressionsGestures to Regulate Social InteractionSocial LanguageGreetings and SalutationsSocial ID QuestionsProsodyRegulating OthersConversational AudiencePhysical Context of ConversationListening to ConversationInitiating ConversationJoining ConversationMaintaining ConversationRepairing ConversationTransitioning Topics of ConversationEnding Conversation

The Body Language and Facial Expressions lesson listed here includes sections of the old Gestures and Facial Expressions lesson that was also in the language curriculum. Additionally, we are planning to write a new lesson called Gestures to Regulate Social Interaction.In the social language domain of social skills, Greetings and Introductions was split into a lesson called Greetings and Salutations and a lesson called Introductions (which is in the next domain of social skills that I will cover). Social ID Qs and Prosody remain basically unchanged. There is a new lesson called Regulating Others which includes concepts such as giving reminders, delineating personal claims (e.g., shotgun or I got dibs on that one), and delaying or hurrying others. The conversation training lesson was broken up and expanded into all of the lessons you see here in blue. In the Social Interaction domain of social skills, the Assertiveness lesson now includes the concepts that were previous in a lesson called Requesting Cessation and Lending and Borrowing is a new lesson.In the self-esteem domain of the social curriculum, the only new lesson is Constructive Criticism which teaches the child how to respond to and give constructive criticism.In the social context domain lies the Responding to Social Cues lesson which now also includes environmental social cues such as knowing that when you enter a room that is freezing cold, you should turn down he A/C or if the cat has thrown tipped the trash can and gotten trash all over the room, you should pick it up as well as the original behavioral cues such as opening the door for someone approaching a closed door w/ a stack of books in their arms. Learning through Observation is the old Observational Learning lesson that was in the Language curriculum with changes. The I dont know portion is now in Negation, but the more advanced concepts of observing the behavior of others to find out the unknown information is still here There are also a couple of more SDs including observing someone respond incorrectly followed by continuous trying until a correct R occurs. The child is to learn the correct response from this observation which is a form of observational learning. We only changed the name of this lesson because it included other topics such as eavesdropping (which is not observational learning) to obtain information.In the social rules domain, Compliance was moved here from the Language curriculum. Community Rules is a new lesson which teaches the child to follow community rules and signs. Politeness and Manners is a combination of some of the stuff from the old Relationships and Politeness lesson and the Community and Social Behavior lesson includes basic rules related to politeness and manners.In the group related skills domain, the lesson Choral Activities was split into Music and Movement (which is covered in the play curriculum) and Responding in Unison which teaches the child to answer call out questions in unison with peers in class and to sing in unison (after having learned to sing the song in music and movement).In the absurdities domain, figures of speech remained the same, humor and jokes is a new lesson. It does not focus on the concept of deception through jokes though, which is covered in the Deception lesson in the Cognition curriculum. Whats Wrong was pulled over from the Whats Missing / Whats Wrong lesson in the Language curriculum and placed here. As you may recall the Whats missing component went into the EF curriculum.

4242Although the school district is responsible for a childs education once they turn 3 and have an IEP, the required age for attending school is not until 5-6 yrs. old for all of our CARD offices except Chicago which is 7. Thus, Carolynn has focused her energy on developing the school skills curriculum up through kindergarten, since it is likely that CARD will be actively involved and sometimes completely relied on for teaching academic skills up to this point. That said, some of our school skills lessons do go even further up to age 8 (or to the end of 2nd grade). Before I delve into the specific lessons within math and LA, it should be noted that Carolynn has included sections within each lesson that give you ideas for naturally occurring classroom applications of the skills. So, please look out for those.For Math, all of the blue lessons are new additions. The Shapes lesson was moved over from the language curriculum and expanded. Most are self-explanatory however, Statistics & Data Analysis includes posing questions, collecting data, and recording the results using concrete objects, pictures and picture graphs. Number Patterns includes Ordinal Numbers, Skip Counting, and Problem Solving.

For LA, the lessons in black were in other areas of the curricula at some capacity and have been expanded upon. The blue lessons are all new. Those that are not self-explanatory by their titles include Print Concepts: Teaches skills related to books: Discriminating letters, words, sentences; Identifying parts of a book (front / back cover, author, title etc.); directionality & reading print (e.g. begin at top and move left to right etc.). Literary genres includes identifying and distinguishing different types of text such as fantasy from realistic text as well as everyday types of print materials such as poems, newspapers & signs. Phonological Awareness: HUGE includes lessons targeting phonemic awareness. all lessons related to listening and discrimination at the word, syllable (word part) and phonemic (individual sound) level.

Also, non-academic skills such as remaining organized, on-task, raising hand, and following school rules are all taught in other areas of the curricula such as in the EF and Social curricula where it is always expected that we practice these skills in the childs classroom after they have been taught in a 1:1 setting.
