These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors.

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Summary

Students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) report inconsistent teacher understanding and a lack of social connection in inclusive classrooms. Their perspectives highlight barriers to inclusion and suggest practical improvements for educational settings.

Area of Science:

Education
Psychology
Disability Studies

Background:

Federal mandates emphasize least restrictive environment for students with disabilities.
Inclusion practices for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often lack student perspectives.
Local definitions of inclusive best practices may not align with student experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

Examine the gap between inclusive education mandates and ASD student experiences.
Understand barriers to academic and social inclusion for students with ASD.
Incorporate the autistic perspective into defining inclusion and best practices.

Main Methods:

Phenomenological study involving six American students with ASD.
Data collected through personal interviews, documents, and artifacts.
