It is difficult for teachers to meet so many needs when funding and resources are being cut.

It is crucial that people are educated about Autism and other disabilities in order to understand and provide support to families like yours and others. Directing anger towards advocacy and education is a way to positively encourage society to take notice and become active as these are all our children and they need all of us to take care of them.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01525106602795669609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374585792571010999.post-13712482338516053372009-09-10T05:55:21.694-07:002009-09-10T05:55:21.694-07:00Are you kidding me ?

The ability for the child to experience and engage in two way interaction is a precursor to affective reciprocity and gestural communication: The child learns cause and effect, social reciprocity, responds to emotional signals, self-regulation and purposeful communication. If the child does not engage in these types of activities one may assume that they will have difficulty progressing to the next functional emotional stage: (Stage 4: Complex presymbolic, shared social communication and problem solving, including imitation, social referencing, and joint attention. Increased ability to utilize circles of communication, back and forth communication, sense of self forming, interacting with environment and getting feedback, learning to operate in terms of patterns, forms the ability to have a symbolic world, fixed perceptions and actions are separated and replaced by problem solving, creates images that are multi-sensory and acquires meaning of symbols through many different interactions.) Depending on the age/individual difference/sensory profile of the child activities should be implemented to help move the child through core capacities that encourage two way purposeful interaction and communication. Hope this answers your question.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01525106602795669609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374585792571010999.post-51680653358128786462009-09-04T17:05:19.289-07:002009-09-04T17:05:19.289-07:00If a child never experiences activities like these...If a child never experiences activities like these are there any long term implications?Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860645738335953116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374585792571010999.post-89079128764252794752009-08-03T21:51:21.919-07:002009-08-03T21:51:21.919-07:00I agree totally.

This is especially true of children with significant learning disabilities accompanied by ADHD.
