A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Essay about Autism
There are many diseases and disorders that plague today's society, but one of the most serious of
those disorders is autism. Autism is not nearly as widely known as the familiar Down's Syndrome,
yet, surprisingly, autism is far more widespread. In fact, autism is the third most common
developmental disability, affecting 400,000 people worldwide (Autism Society of America). As of
yet there is no cure for this debilitating disorder, only a variety of treatments.
Autism is a developmental disability, not a mental illness, that typically appears during the first
three years of life and affects 15 of every 10,000 individuals. No one is certain why it occurs, but
researchers have found that MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans of people with...show more

Some of the treatments include behavioral training, teaching of communication and social skills,
auditory training, medications, and a change in diet.
Behavioral training or modification, as it is also called, deals with changing or extinguishing
inappropriate behaviors and increasing positive behaviors. A few methods are used to do this. One
way is self–management where the individual monitors their behavior and receives
self–reinforcement. Another method used is modeling. This is when the teacher or therapist
demonstrates what is being done so the child can "model" the steps. Behavioral training is effective
in stopping self–inflicted pain by shaping and distributing positive reinforcement.
The teaching of communication and social skills is an integral part of treating autism. Speech
therapy may include gaining language skills or learning sign language. Some devices are used
frequently such as picture communication boards. Another device is used with a trained
professional supporting the hand or arm of the person helping them to punch keys on a device. This
technique, called facilitated communication, is highly controversial because it is sometimes thought
that the facilitator is directing the person's arm unknowingly. One of the main characteristics of
autism is the lack of understanding of social cues (Autism Society of America). The person with
autism may be taught how to communicate in social situations or respond to certain facial

Autism
1. Definition
Autism– is a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication
and social interaction, generally evident before the age of 3, that adversely affects a child's
educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in
repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in
daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences.
2. Common Characteristics
Inability to use speech for communication
Withdrawal from people
Unusual bodily movements and peculiar mannerisms
Abnormal responses to one or more types of sensory stimuli, sound or touch
Lack of appropriate play
Preoccupation with hands (flapping)...show more content...
Autistic infants often show little or no interest in other people and lack typical social behaviors. For
example, they may not smile at their mother's voice or make eye contact with caregivers. Autistic
children fail to develop normal relationships with their parents, brothers or sisters, and other
children. Often they seem unaware of the needs and feelings of other people, and may not respond
if another person is hurt or in distress. They also fail to make friends.
Children with autism usually play alone. Often they engage in repetitious activities, such as
arranging objects in meaningless patterns, flipping a light switch on and off, or staring at rotating
objects. Some engage in repetitious body movements, such as spinning, flapping their arms, swaying,
rocking, snapping their fingers, and clapping or flapping their hands. In some cases these movements
may be harmful, involving repeated biting of their wrists or banging their head. Children with autism
frequently become upset at minor changes in their surroundings and daily routines.
Autistic children also have difficulties with language. Some never learn to speak or develop very
limited speech. An autistic child may say "you" when he means "I" and
produce incorrectly formed sentences. Autistic children may also demonstrate echolalia,
mechanically repeating words or phrases that other people say.

Leo Kanner in 1943. He reported a few children who showed a lack of interest in other individuals
but, a highly unusual interest in the environment. These children were very different in physical and
mental characteristics.
It is possible to detect signs of autism in infants as young as 6–18 months. Babies and toddlers may
fail to respond to their names, avoid eye contact, or engage in repetitive movements such as rocking
or arm flapping. The most common signs of autism include, Not pointing to objects to show interest,
avoid eye contact and wants to be alone, appear to be unaware when people talk to them, but respond
to other sounds, repeat actions over and over again, and many more ("Facts about Autism"). There
are many symptoms of autism. Some people with autism typically have difficulties in verbal and
nonverbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. Other individuals with
autism might suffer from comorbid medical conditions such as: allergies, asthma, epilepsy, digestive
disorders, persistent viral infections, feeding disorders, etc. Between 30–50% of individuals with
autism have seizures ("Quick Facts about Autism").About 40% of individuals with autism does not
have the ability to speak. 20–30% of kids with autism have few words 12–18 months, but lose them.
Other children might speak, but not until early

4. Argumentative Essay On Autism
Let's say you have a box of crayons. It represents ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), now inside
the box you have different colors of crayons. Each color/crayon is a different disorder. The color
we want to talk about today is teal, the official color for autism. Stuart Duncan once said, "Autism,
like a rainbow, has a bright side and a dark side and even though it can mean rough waters it can be
beautiful." Autism isn't a label, it's a diagnoses. People with autism can be just as successful as
neurotypical people. People with autism have been the subject of stereotypes and neglect for
decades. Only in the last 150 years or so have things started to change. We don't know what causes
autism, but thanks to increased research and awareness we're making more progress than ever.
People with autism face many challenges everyday, autism is a spectrum. It's not the same for
everyone. Due to it being a spectrum it can be hard for people without autism to understand the
challenges autistic people face, and how to go about interacting with autistic people. There are
lots of autistic people worldwide, it's time we start making them feel more like people. 1 in 68
people in the US have autism, this includes 1 in 189 girls and 1 in 42 boys. Autism is a difference
in perception; technically it's a developmental disorder that is the result of a difference in brain
chemicals. Scientists don't know what causes autism or why it's stayed in the human gene pool for
so long. People with autism could have a wide variety of symptoms, but some of the most common
characteristics are fixations on things they like, reliance on routines,and lack of social skills. Autism
can be formally diagnosed at ages as young as 3. There is no medical test to diagnose autism, rather
a trained professional in the psychology field will perform a developmental screening and a
comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. When a child is diagnosed with autism, therapy is strongly
recommended. The earlier treatment starts the better because certain aspects of the disorder can be
lessened through therapy. Therapy helps the mind and the body, certain therapies can help rebuild
your brain, so to speak. Autistic brains are physically different than neurotypical ones.

II.Causes:
Experts do not know yet exactly what causes these differences for most people with ASD. However,
some people with ASD have known difference, such as a genetic condition, Environmental factors
and Neural levels. There are numerous reasons for ASD, although most are not known yet.
A.Genetic problems
A lot of various genes appear o be involved in autism spectrum disorder. For some children, autism
spectrum disorder can be combined with a genetic disorder such as Rett syndrome or fragile X
syndrome. For other genetic changes may make a child more affected to autism or create
environmental risk factors. Still other genes may affect the brain progress or the way that brain cells
communicate, or they may determine the severity of symptoms. Some genetic problems seem to be
innate, while others happen unconsciously. (Mayo clinic staff, 2014)

There has been an increase in the number of children diagnosed with autism or other autism

Autism is a disorder characterized by significant problems in communication and social functioning.
Autism is actually called Autism Spectrum Disorder and encompasses a broad range disabilities
such as Asperger syndrome, Rett's Syndrome, and Pervavasive Development Disorder (Dunlap &

Holding morning meetings helps autistic children by establishing a common routine that begins the
student's day in a predictable pattern (Sapona & Winterman, 2002, p. 31). Autistic children often
need predictable routines, and a highly organized and structured environment in order to function.
Since autistic children need routine there are some tips teachers can implement to make it easier for
their autistic students:
–Highlight most important concepts
–Establish alternate modes for completing assignments
–Prepare the students
–Maximize comprehension and content retention
–Graphic and visual organizers
–Mnemonic devices (Marks et. al., 2002)
Students with autism can become overwhelmed very easily by even minor deviations from the
routine. It is important to be sensitive to the way autistic children function so that their potential can
be reached.
To encourage the development of social skills students are encouraged to interact with one another
throughout the day in a variety of methods, including partner work, small group activities, and large
group activities. These teaching techniques enable autistic children to relate to their peers. As
autistic children relate to their peers more they are more accepted and in turn continue to learn and
acquire new and improved social skills.

Children With Autism
Children with autism have the possibility to improve greatly, and some even overcome the effects of
autism if appropriate therapies are begun early enough. A multifaceted disorder, autism has long
baffled professionals and parents alike. At a point in time, doctors gave parents absolutely no hope
for the recovery of their children. But recently, new treatments and therapies have shown that
improvement is possible. With early intervention, intensive care, some children have if not fully
recovered, improved, and have been integrated into schools, indistinguishable from their peers.

Pass on the information you gain about ASD to families having an Autistic patient in order to help
them understand this condition and not beat/abuse the patient in any case.
By helping other professionals and families to adapt and evolve their understanding of ASD, you
help the nation's understanding of mental conditions grow and boost the prospects of more research
in this field. Inspire the people around you for positive change.
Since you gain a thorough understanding of ASD, you can help an ASD patient stuck in trauma with
smart communication, soft skill coercing and calming down their anxiety.
By formulating your own intervention techniques and strategies, you can prevent any incidents that
involve any ASD patient, and in turn save them from further emotional trauma.
Not only do you calm their interfering behavior in a school/ workplace setting, but will help you
understand the positive and functional approaches to understanding their behavior by analyzing a
behavior chain and conducting a Functional Behavior Assessment.

10. Informational Essay on Autism
Autism
About 1 percent of the world population has autism spectrum disorder. (CDC, 2014) Autism is the
fastest growing developmental disability. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a
"spectrum disorder" that effects individuals differently. Autism is a serious and lifelong
developmental disability. On its own, autism is not a learning disability or a mental health problem.
To go further back into history, autism was first recognized in the early years of the 20th century by
medical doctors. Autism as Leo Kanner called the "syndrome" was defined as a cerebral disorder
which influence communication capabilities. Through the 1960s, psychiatrists continued to view
autism as a form of "childhood schizophrenia." Also...show more content...
It is very important to separate autism from other conditions. Once diagnosed accurately parents can
know the facts about autism and what can help their child. There are services available for parents
needing help with their child. There are teaching strategies that can introduce new behaviors or
reduce inappropriate actions. Types of interventions can lead to great opportunities.
(Syriopoulou–Delli, C., 2010)
People with autism often exhibit significant language problems such as delayed or absent speech.
Children and adults with autism may have a hard time communicating their need or want. This can
lead to frustration to parents and friends. This can affect all family members when one person is
frustrated. It is best for parents or caregiver to talk with experts on how to deal with situations like
this. Parents must know that now place their primary focus on helping their child with autism.

with autism may exhibit repetitive movements, have unusual responses to people, be resistant to
change and demonstrate aggressive and/or self–injurious behavior.
As a teacher who works in a school for children with autism, I have seen first hand how the families
are affected by the disability of their child. The parents in my school have shown tremendous
strength and support for their children, contributing positively to their quality of life. They come into
school and learn how to work with their child, have continuous contact with the teacher, and
tremendously help the school with fundraising efforts. I have been lucky enough to see the positive
effects that parent support can have on a child with autism, but I am sure that there are many cases
that are opposite of this. Having a child with autism does put a great strain on all family members,
physically, mentally, and emotionally.
There are several interventions that are available for those with autism. The interventions are

In the recent years, there has been an increase with the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders
(ASD). According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2007), 1 in 150 children
are said to be autistic and according to many states ASD is seen as an epidemic. The problem with
these numbers is how to teach these children affectively in the best academic environment. In
2005–2006 it was reported that 31% of autistic students were placed in general education classrooms
and around 40% in separate classes, typically referred as autistic support classrooms (U.S.
Department of Education, 2007). Characteristically, the student will be placed in an autistic support

F's students. In this paper, I will discuss the instruction Mrs. F uses, the aspects of Bloom's
Taxonomy that are exhibited, some of the best practices used according to Santrock (2008), different
types of technology used, and how this classroom has introduced the primary elements as my future
role as a school psychologist.
I. Instruction Style Through my observations, Mrs. F uses a Teacher–Centered model, which allows
her to select the material that the students will learn (Santrock, 2008). Since all of Mrs. F's students
contain an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) it is important for her to control and closely
monitor what is being taught. When a teacher has a student with an IEP it is significant to maintain
the unique educational goals and help the child achieve the highest benefit from learning (Heward,
2009). In Mrs. F's class she is able to center her students goals around the curriculum or lesson plan
for the day. On several occasions, I have witnessed Mrs. F asking the student's different questions
based off a story the class read, that pertains to their specific goals. An example of this includes one
child's inability to identify colors and another child's inability to answer "who" questions (answering
the main character in the story). With constant repetition, the students are able to strengthen their
weaknesses and achieve their goal(s).

Autism is a developmental disorder that affects the brain's normal development of social and
communication skills. This complex illness varies widely in severity, and is marked by social
difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and communication problems. Usual features of autism include an
impairment of verbal and non–verbal communication, problems processing sensorial information,
difficulty in social interactions, and restrictive and repetitive patterns of conduct. Some causes of
autism relate to growth dysregulation, and early intervention and treatment may offer significant
advances in functioning.

It does so by curbing abusive practices like excessive waiting periods for coverage; exclusions
regarding preexisting conditions; and rescissions of coverage. Insurance providers will be limited
in their ability to set annual or lifetime restrictions on the dollar value of medical benefits. This
will affect the laws in some states which cap autism insurance benefits. However, even though the
new law will extend insurance coverage to families of children with autism, not all plans will be
required to cover behavioral health treatments. The main reason behind this is based on the fact that
only some types of insurance plans will be required to cover a list of essential benefits, such as the
treatment of behavioral conditions, including autism. The plans that are included under this
provision are those offered by state based exchanges, through which businesses and individuals are
able to purchase coverage, and those plans offered in individual and small group markets, outside of
the exchange. Existing coverage plans, those plans offered by large group markets outside
exchanges, and self–insured plans, will not be required to provide packages that include behavioral
treatment. These exclusions are important as almost 60 % of workers are covered by a plan

Diagnostic Summary Paper AUTISM Autism is a disorder that impairs the development of a
person's capacity to interact with, communicate with, and also maintain regular
"normal" bonds with the outside world. This disorder was described in 1943 by Leo
Kanner, an Americanpsychologist. Autism is considered one of the more common developmental
disabilities, and appears before the age of three. It is known to be four or five times more common
in males than in females. It most cited statistic is that autism occurs in 4.5 out of 10,000 live births.

Tantrums can occur when these perseverative behaviors occur. Twenty years ago, most autistic
individuals were institutionalized. Now only the most severe cases live in institutions. During
adulthood, autistic individuals are known to live with their parents, in residential institutions, and
some do live independently. Because there are so many forms of this disorder, it has been said that
there is no true adjective to describe every type of person with autistic symptoms, or autism. My
research shows that there are no physiological tests that can be performed to determine whether a
person has autism. The diagnosis is given when a person exhibits the characteristics of the disorder.
Note: In the last five years, researchers have agreed that those who display autistic characteristics are
commonly suffering from other related but distinct disorders, such as Asperger Syndrome, Fragile X
syndrome, Landau
Kleffner syndrome, Rett syndrome, and Williams syndrome. Physiological researchers have
discovered abnormalities within the brain, but the reason for the abnormalities is not known, and it
is not known where the relation to autism lies. These abnormalities range from underdeveloped areas
in the limbic system, to Vernal lobules VI and VII, being smaller than average. Biochemical research
has found elevated beta–endorphins, relating to pain tolerance in autistic action. In the cognitive
realm, there is much talk of the "theory of mind",

Introduction
Autism is on the rise. Many researchers feel the reasons isn't because there are more kids being
afflicted with it, but the increased public awareness has allowed this disorder to be more easily
recognized and diagnosed at a earlier age. The word "autism" was first used by a Swiss psychiatrist
Eugene Bleuler in an article written in the American Journal of Insanity in 1912. It comes from the
Greek word meaning self. Bleuler used it to describe the schizophrenic's seeming difficulty in
connecting with others ("Autism"). It wasn't until 1943 when the classification of autism was
introduced by Dr. Leo Kanner. Dr. Kanner, a psychiatrist from John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,

Repetitive behaviors like head banging and repetitive routines are consistent for individuals with
autism. If the routine is disturbed, he or she screams and throws a temper tantrum (Wing, 24). Like
their need for consistency in routines, autistics also need and demand absolute consistency in their
environment. Changes in their environment cause them to act negatively ("Autism"). And individual
with autism has a different sensory system than normal people, the stimulations are affected
differently. For example, they have oversensitivity to light and this oversensitivity may cause
seizures ("Autism"). At least one quarter of children with autism have an epilectic seizure before
they become an adult. Other behaviors that may occur are high levels or anxiety, odd fears (ex. of
color or shape), and emotions that change from one extreme to the other (Wing 31+; Siegel 49). A
common myth about autistic individuals is that they cannot show affection ("Defining Autism").
Autistics show affection, but they are very precise about who they show affection to. They have to
be very comfortable with this person and their affection they show is not like normal children's. The
affection is a brief hug or something simple. On reason they do not show affection is they simply do
not seek parental attention. As an infant the autistic child may have appeared very calm and not
cried very often ("Autism"). Even though these children

Autism according to Merriam–Webster Dictionary is defined as "a variable developmental disorder
that appears by age three and is characterized by impairment of the ability to form normal social

believed to be a psychiatric or emotional illness, and doctors told mothers that they were the cause.
They were wrong. The cause for autism is still a mystery, however, the facts remain that autism in

The Autism Society says, "children with autism often have repetitive body movements such as, hand
flapping, spinning, or head banging." An autistic child often avoids interaction with others and does
not like to give eye contact during dialogue. Mastering social skills and interaction is a challenge
for children living with autism. Autistic children often do not play with other children. Part of this is
noticed during the early developmental stages of childhood. Autistic children are often referred as
off in a world of their own, unaware of people or events around them. Children with autism have
difficulties in verbal and with non–verbal communication, social interactions and leisure activities.
Autistic children have sensory disorders that affect how they interact with objects and people around
them. They possibly will experience sensitivities in the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and
smell. "Many children with autism have unusual sensitivities to sounds, sights, touch, taste and
smells. High–pitched intermittent sounds, such as fire alarm or school bells, may be painful to these
children. Scratchy fabrics and clothing tags may also be intolerable, and some children have visual
sensitivities to the flickering of fluorescent lights (autism–society)." The lack of social skills can
create behaviors in autistic children.

A light touch to most people may hurt an autistic person. On the other hand, some autistic people
are insensitive to pain and won't notice injuries. Hearing can also be heightened so that a noise that
would not bother your or my ears, may hurt an autistic person's ears. Autistic people's vision can
also be affected. They have trouble recognizing people. They can also have their eyes hurt by a
bright light or a certain flickering.
People with autism lack normal non–verbal communication and body language. Because of this, they
will seem more literal minded and unemotional than those around them. They also have trouble with
verbal communication which sometimes means they will take a question or statement in a literal or
unusual way. Some autistic people display communication difficulties such as difficulty
remembering vocabulary and pronouncing words. Some are mute. Many need extra time to process
verbal questions or comments and to reply. From time to time they will repeat things they hear or
even their own words.
As you can see, autism affects its victims in a wide variety of ways. Some do well in special
supportive environments, other are completely independent and function fairly well, and still others
may never learn to talk or be able to work or live independently.

In a study conducted in Phoenix by the Arizona Business Gazette, researchers concluded that one in
every 68 children in the United States is diagnosed with Autism before the age of 3. Autism is
described as a "range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive
behaviors, and speech and nonverbal communication," ("What is Autism?"). Because of how present
Autism is in our society, the topic has been heavily debated for years. There are many contrasting
opinions regarding different issues on the subject of Autism, but there has yet to be an agreement on
one of the most important aspects of the topic, the cure. It is profoundly disagreed upon whether it is
ethically and morally correct for our society to fund and conduct research to find a cure for Autism
because some think that it sending the message that we are trying to "change" these autistic
individuals. In relation to the information regarding neurodiversity and the autism spectrum, society
should continue to pursue research and funding to find a cure because of the numerous ways it could
improve the quality of life for those affected by autism.
In order to form a strong and knowledgeable opinion regarding whether we should continue to
research a cure for autism, it is crucial to understand the basic ideas of the subject of neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity is the range of differences in the way the human brain functions and behaves.
("Neurodiversity: Some Basic Terms and Definitions") This variation in the way each individual
processes information and reacts to it that results in diversity in our population. No two people are
exactly alike due to the distinctions between each individual's race, religion, gender, and cultural
background. These factors cause each individual to have a different and unique personality and
outlook on life. This is seen as significant because it guarantees that the human race is not a unit of
people that think, act, and live exactly the same. Autism and other conditions such as Dyslexia and
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are viewed as components that contribute to
neurodiversity and neurodiversity movement because they affect the behaviors and brain function of

Finally, the third and broadest area of impairment is repetitive behaviors. Autistic children often
exhibit some degree of a repetitive behavior that can range anywhere from mild to extreme. This can
include a variety of actions such as constantly rocking back and forth, toe–walking, eye–rolling,
spinning, and clapping. The child could have set routines that they feel a need to obsessively
follow every day. This can even take the form of an overly focused interest on something that the
child enjoys such as science, music, or art. When these repetitive actions are observed in the child
over long periods of time they are then referred to as "stereotypic behaviors". Diagnosis. The earliest
indicators of autism are impairments of verbal and nonverbal communication. A child with autism
will have difficulties responding to their name, smiling and making eye contact, babbling or cooing
by twelve months, and using single or two word phrases by twenty–four months (NIMH, n.d.). A
proper diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder is a two part process. The child is first given a
general screening to check for developmental issues. If the child is not making satisfactory
developmental progress according to his or her age group, the child would be referred for
additional screening. At this stage, the child will need to be screened to check for specific
symptoms of autism. The screening can be based solely on the parent's observation of the

Sensory issues can cause problems with intervention and teachers should always be aware of the
risks that therapy can bring to students due to sensory differences, (Volkmar and Weisner, 2009).
Environmental stimuli can be very disturbing and even painful at time for children with autism.
This can apply to limited types of sensory input or all forms of it; this can be caused by a disorder
with the child's sensory processing, An individual's tactile system which includes the skin and brain
allows a person to perceive and respond in the right manner to experiences in the environment, for
example staying away from fire or snuggling up with pleasure in a cozy throw blanket. When
autistic students have problems or disturbances in their tactile systems they may do the opposite.
They may withdraw from trying to be comforted or from affection; this is called tactile defensive.
These responses are a result of a tactile misconception and can lead to other behavioral problems.
(British Colombia: Ministry of Education, 2000).
