What challenges do students experience with social interactions and communication? How is a student’s racial background, cultural beliefs, or gender-classification supported or oppressed? How can you determine whether or not these challenges are indicative of a larger issue (like ASD)? Post to the discussion board. Describe three potential observations that would signal to you that a student in your classroom might have challenges with social interactions and/or communication. Explain your rationale. Prior to now, how likely would you have been to notice these challenges among your students? How have your own experiences, beliefs, assumptions, and practices enhanced or inhibited your ability to differentiate potential signs of ASD? |
