Annotated Bibliography That Reflects Your Developing Understanding of the Cultural, Social and Theoretical Issues Linked to Themes of Inclusion
Assessment Title: Annotated bibliography that reflects your developing understanding of the cultural, social and theoretical issues linked to themes of inclusion
In this assessment I shall describe an Annotated Bibliography on Autistic Spectrum Disorder. The important factors of inclusion in educational settings will be discussed and how parents as partners can help children’s development.
Autism is a condition which affects children’s development their whole life. Autism is a brain disorder that is diagnosed normally in early childhood and autistic children can show bad behaviour and can become fairly aggressive and temperamental. Many education settings have provided additional support to young children alongside other children, however this is to include an inclusive practice.
Children with autism have many difficulties in three main areas:
1) Social Awareness - Find making friends and interacting with others very difficult, and do not always make eye contact when someone is talking to them.
2) Language Communication - Find it hard to explain how their feeling and what their thinking and they also communicate in high pitch tones and have severe delay in speech.
3) Imagination – Do not always understand that others have thoughts and feelings and have limited imagination.
Reid (2005, p.29) quotes “There may also be evidence of obsessive and inappropriate behaviours. Some students within this spectrum may also have limited imaginative thought”.
In society before, children with autism were misunderstood and their negative behaviour was labelled and because of their negative behaviour children were punished frequently. During that time there was no guidance and support available for children with autism from the government and local authorities. There was none specialised equipment/resources for children to learn and develop further, which would help with this
