Study Notes
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, making it challenging to identify as affected individuals may appear normal at first glance.
- Individuals with ASD differ in communication, interaction, behavior, and learning styles compared to others.
- Signs in children and adults include:
- Lack of pointing at objects or responding to pointing.
- Difficulty with social interactions and understanding emotions.
- Limited eye contact and preference for solitude.
- Repetitive behavior or phrases and resistance to routine changes.
- Challenges in pretending during play and possible skill regression.
Support Strategies for Children with ASD
- Adults can assist children with ASD by:
- Gaining knowledge about the disorder.
- Establishing consistent routines for children.
- Engaging with parents of children with ASD.
- Seeking professional guidance if necessary.
- Providing an environment of love and acceptance.
Visual Impairments
- Visual impairments encompass a range of non-correctable vision loss, from mild to complete blindness, while conditions like nearsightedness can be corrected.
- Common causes in children include amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), birth defects, and eye or brain injuries.
- Children with visual impairments may need accommodations such as:
- Seating close to visual aids.
- Large print materials or audiobooks.
- Assistance with notes and extended time on tasks.
Hearing Impairments
- Hearing impairments result from damage to one or more ear parts, affecting sound perception and speech understanding.
- Types of hearing impairment include:
- Conductive hearing loss caused by ear obstructions.
- Sensorineural hearing loss from inner ear damage.
- Mixed hearing loss combined with both types.
- Central hearing loss affecting brain processing despite normal cochlea function.
Intellectual Disability
- Characterized by below-average intellectual capacity and challenges in communication, learning, thinking, and adaptive behaviors.
- Severity ranges from mild to moderate, impacting language skills, self-care, and independent living.
- Children may display learning disabilities like dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and difficulties in processing auditory or visual information.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- ADHD is a mental disorder impacting attention and behavior, often genetic.
- Symptoms are categorized as:
- Inattentive: Difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, and daydreaming.
- Hyperactive-Impulsive: Fidgeting, excessive talking, and interrupting others.
- Combined: A mix of inattentiveness and hyperactivity.
Supporting Children with ADHD
- Teachers can help by:
- Allowing breaks for movement.
- Maintaining consistent rules.
- Reducing distractions in the classroom.
- Providing regular feedback to students and parents.
Exceptionally Bright Children
- These children exhibit advanced abilities in language, math, science, or creativity.
- Common traits include early reading, pattern recognition, artistically balanced reasoning, and high test scores.
Strategies for Teachers with Gifted Children
- Recognize characteristics and behaviors signifying giftedness.
- Use standardized testing to evaluate abilities.
- Offer advanced activities and foster critical thinking.
- Provide opportunities for independent learning while integrating into groups with peers.
