What is ASD? Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by communication challenges, social interaction deficits, and a tendency to engage in repetitive behaviors. These core areas vary in severity among individuals with autism spectrum disorder. If you know one person with ASD, you know one person with ASD. Don’t judge one person with autism by your past experience with another person with autism.
Slide 8-

According to Statistics, what is the prevalence rate of autism?
Slide 9-

ASD Statistics According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a 2018 report revealed that the prevalence rate of autism was 1 in 59 births in the United States. Boys are four times more likely to be identified with autism spectrum disorder. Autism is treatable, not curable. There is no known single cause. Early intervention is critical to development.

Under WV Policy 2419, what are some of the criteria for a student to qualify under the category of ASD?
Slide 12-

WV Policy 2419: Autism Eligibility Using the DSM-5 Criteria Criteria A Social Communication and Interaction: (all currently or by history) -Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity… -Deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors… -Deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships… Criteria B Restrictive Repetitive and Stereotyped Patterns of Behavior, Interests, and Activities: (at least two) -Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, or speech… -Insistence on sameness… -Highly restricted, fixated interests abnormal in intensity… -Hyper- or hypo- reactive to sensory input or unusual interests in sensory aspects of the environment… Symptoms must be present in the early development period but may not fully manifest until social demands exceed limited capacities. Disturbances are not better explained by an intellectual disability.
Slide 13-

WV Policy 2419: Autism Eligibility Using the DSM-5 Criteria /Cont’d/ Diagnosed by psychiatrist, physician, licensed psychologist, or school psychologist Adversely affects educational performance* Needs special education Not better explained by an Emotional/Behavioral Disorder *According to the Three-Prong Test of Eligibility in WV Policy 2419, “educational performance includes both academic areas (reading, math, communication, etc.) and nonacademic areas (daily life activities, mobility, pre-vocational and vocational skills, social adaptation, self-help skills, etc.).”
Slide 14-

Least Restrictive Environment Requirement: According to WV Policy 2419: “An eligible student must be educated with general education students in the general education classroom to the maximum extent appropriate. Removal from the general education environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the exceptionality is such that education in general classes and other settings with general education students cannot be achieved satisfactorily even with the use of supplementary aids and services.” “An eligible student is not to be removed from age-appropriate general education classrooms solely because of needed accommodations and modification to the general education curriculum.”
Slide 15-

What might be an environmental and a sensory stimuli?
Slide 16-

Hypersensitive (over-responsive) Remove excessive visual stimuli (i.e. cover bookcases with curtains) Be aware of and eliminate small noises (i.e. turn off buzzing fluorescent lights) Reduce brightness by using a lamp instead of overhead light Provide noise-canceling headphones Avoid using cologne, air fresheners, and scented candles May prefer not to be touched Be aware of textures due to tactile defensiveness (i.e. clothing issues) Hyposensitive (under-responsive) May require repeated verbal or partial physical prompting Schedule and provide sensory input throughout day (deep pressure activities, water play, vibrating pillows, squishy toys, fish aquarium, beanbag breaks, sweet/sour/salty foods, sensory bin) Provide hands-on learning Select a window seat on the bus Be Aware of Environmental and Sensory Stimuli

Visual Schedules are VERY Important! Photo Credit: Pinterest and meridianplanners.com
Slide 21-

Research Supports the Use of a Visual Schedule It utilizes the individual’s visual strengths and therefore provides a receptive communication system to increase understanding. It helps the individual to learn new things and broaden their interests. It provides tools that allow the individual to use skills in a variety of settings. It can increase the individual’s flexibility. It helps the individual remain calm and reduces inappropriate behaviors. It helps the individual to develop independence and resulting self-esteem.

Build a Visual Schedule http://connectability.ca/visuals-engine/ http://do2learn.com/picturecards/VisualSchedules/index.htm https://pecsusa.com/pecs/ Types of visual schedules: -object -picture -pull-offs -word -check-offs -list
Slide 28-

Guidelines for Creating Visual Schedules: Utilize “First/Then” or “If/Then” chart to begin using visual schedule. Make more than one schedule: morning routine, departure routine, daily routine, therapy schedule. Keep time periods vague (“game” instead of “Angry Bird Game”). Pair pictures with words to promote literacy (but not too many words). Try to use actual photos of student, activities, and environments. Activities should have an ending (use visual timer for preferred activity).

Slide 30-

How to Teach the Use of Visual Schedules When using the schedule, remember the following steps: Give a standard phrase (e.g., “Check schedule”) Prompt the individual (from behind) to go to the schedule Prompt the individual to look at or point to the first activity Prompt the individual to go to the location of the first activity When the activity is over, give the standard phrase again and prompt the individual back to the schedule REMINDER: The schedule will require teaching; it will not automatically have meaning. Use enough prompting to ensure the child gets there, but fade out slowly so s/he goes to the schedule with increasing independence.

Using Visual Strips on Student Desk
Slide 32-

Why Use Visual Supports and Aids? Provides and aids in effective communication Decreases behavior challenges Allows for appropriate social interaction Helps to organize thinking Allows for choice-making Builds confidence Better presentation of information or task; task demonstration Helps with transitions Allows for increased participation Builds independence
Slide 33-

Evidence-Based Practices: Use of visual schedules (sequential, neat, organized, clear, simple) Highlighting, color-coding, color reading overlay strips/pages Use of visual aids and cues Use of video instruction and video modeling Video Modeling (teaches several skills in a small section of video through imitation and direct teaching) Example of Introductions and Greetings: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Video+Modeling+SLP&&view=detail&mid=87CFE5BFD5505F08EC0987CFE5BFD5505F08EC09&FORM=VRDGAR www.watchmelearn.com www.modelmekids.com

How to Use Comic Strip Conversations to convey important information for problem-solving and conflict resolution to learn social skills to follow simple classroom rules to communicate perspectives, feelings and ideas Elements of Comic Strip Conversations a description of the event that caused the problem feelings and thoughts of everyone involved a solution to the problem and ideas on how to avoid it in the future reinforcement appropriate symbols (stick figures, smiley faces, thought bubbles) colors used to express feelings (green-happy, blue-sad, black-angry) https://education.illinoisstate.edu/downloads/asi/ComicStripConversations.pdf
Slide 36-

Tips in Building a Comic Strip Conversation If drawing is difficult, create it online: www.makebeliefscomix.com/Comix Allow the person with ASD to create the drawings as the you help with the message. You create the drawing and the individual with ASD reproduces it using technology.

Let’s talk about the “B” word…
Slide 38-

Reminder: Never, ever discuss a child’s behavior in front of him/her or others! A child’s behavior should only be discussed with those who have an educational interest in the child. It should not be the topic at lunch, in the lounge, or on social media. Remember FERPA!

Slide 45-

Praise and Reward the Desired Behavior Use Positive Reinforcement: Praise the desired behavior immediately & often Praise and/or reward peers in close proximity for demonstrating appropriate behavior - “I love the way you are sitting so still and working on your math!” - Clip Up/Down Class Chart (Make a consistent effort to “catch them being good.”) Use a token economy. “I am working for ______.”
Slide 46-

Use Student Interests, Gifts, and Talents Rewards Motivation Improves Engagement Decreases Inappropriate Behaviors Encourages a Safe and Positive Learning Environment Increases Achievement & Confidence

Using Personal Motivation Important: Always use a visual timer for the preferred activity. Time Timer has an app! Images Source: Pinterest
Slide 48-

Behavior Interventions & Strategies Remove triggers from the environment (within reason). Use planned ignoring (unless injurious behavior). Offer limited choices (ex. “You can type your answers or use the wiggle pen to do your spelling. You choose.”). Try pairing Interrupting with the Broken Record. Teach, re-teach, and reinforce desired behaviors, expectations, and rules. Decrease amount of “running space” in classroom or environment. Teach socially acceptable replacement behaviors. Discrete Trials & ABA methodology have been found effective for those with ASD. Request or conduct a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). Requires PARENT CONSENT Request or develop a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP). Requires PARENT CONSENT
Slide 49-

De-escalation Strategies Use Calm, Even Voice Respond, Don’t React; Don’t Engage in a Power Struggle Use Positive Words Speak Less, Show More Re-direct Attention Let the Student “Save Face” Take a Break or Walk with Student Pre-teach Coping Skills Be Proactive to Help Student Offer and/or Allow for Scheduled Sensory Breaks Provide a Safe Place or Cool Down Area; Use Cool-Off Pass Sensory Activities Movement & Motor Breaks Carrying Books Rocking Chair Music Scented Playdough Squishy toys Rice & Ice Pasta or Bean Containers Sand and/or Water Play Sensory Box/Bin Hands-on Learning (ex. Shaving Cream Spelling, Finger Paint, Explore and Sort Buttons) Chewelry or Pencil Topper More Interventions & Strategies
Slide 50-

Remember: Think pictures! Use visuals such as daily schedules using real pictures, map of school with room locations, fire drill escape plans, morning/departure routines, bus routines, home routines, digital formats for textbooks and books, etc. Utilize priming (go over the activity, information, transition, or expectation with the child before it occurs). Provide more hands-on learning. Declutter, organize the environment, and use of masking when reading for visual discrimination. Provide copy of study guides or provide content topic in advance. Teach and allow use of a “Break” card. Break tasks down into steps. Instead of saying, “Clean your room,” break down the task into small steps. Strategies & Supports
Slide 51-

IEP buckets contain activities that meet the skills and goals on the IEP. Use during transitions or down time. Include hands-on activities/manipulatives. Rotate out activities. Allow child to help choose activities. Include desirable sensory tasks. Avoid Down Time with IEP Buckets
Slide 52-

Teach generalization for skill to be learned in other environments Teach transitions; allow to leave class 2-3 minutes early with helper Use color coding; not too much variation Teach social skills and offer opportunities to use them safely Peer mentors are very effective (but, not to be listed as IEP service) Be aware of your voice level and environmental stimuli Provide opportunities for success Use video modeling (social skills and new skill acquisition) Practice mindfulness in the mornings More Strategies & Tips

Parent InvolvementInvolving Parents Use a DAILY home/school/home communication notebook, especially for students who have limited to no functional language. Invite parents to help teach daily living skills or special interests: teach how to follow a recipe, follow directions to put a bookcase together, how to use simple tools for assembly, painting, pottery, basic sewing, etc. Ensure opportunities for parent input on FBA, BIP, and behavior goals. Reschedule meetings to ensure parent participation.
Slide 59-

How do you involve the parents?
Slide 60-

Parent InvolvementInvolving Parents, Cont. Provide copies of IEP, assessments, FBA, and BIP to parents prior to meeting for parent review and input. Notify parents of the need for change in BIP or new discipline procedures. Share ongoing data collection and explain it. Always start any parent meeting, correspondence, and daily communication notebook entry with a positive and end with a positive. Parents of recently diagnosed students benefit from trainings on autism.
