Sensory integration therapy is used to help children to learn to use all their senses together. That is touch,smell,taste,sight and hearing can improve difficulties/problems in children with special need.
Sensory Processing Disorder is under-recognized among medical professionals but known well among Speech language and occupational therapists. Also known as Sensory Integration Dysfunction, it overlaps with Autism Spectrum, Aspergers, ADD, and ADHD or may be its own disorder. Person with this are often highly reactive to their environment (but can be under reactive). Knowing how to structure their environment, provide family and client support, and calm secondary symptoms with Homeobotanicals is key for managing it.
Occupational Therapy in Cerebral PalsyAlbert840788
Occupational Therapy and Cerebral Palsy involves developing one’s ability to perform daily functions and activities.
CP occupational therapy aims at improving one’s strength, dexterity, and coordination when performing day-to-day activities. It also helps in improving cognitive abilities such as decision-making, problem-solving, reasoning, perception, memory, etc.
In this way, simple day-to-day tasks such as eating, bathing, brushing teeth can be performed with relative ease.

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. Autism does not apply if a child's education performance is adversely affected primarily because the child has a serious emotional disturbance.
A collection of information about Autism Spectrum Disorder definition,symptoms,therapies,last researches about behavioral analysis and a comaparaison between signs in children ,adolescents and adults
Autism is a complex developmental condition that typically appears during early childhood and is characterised by difficulties in social interaction, communication, restricted and repetitive interests and behaviours, and sensory sensitivities. It is called a ‘developmental’ condition because symptoms of autism generally appear in the first two years of a child’s life. It is called a ‘spectrum’ disorder because it is most influenced by different combinations of genetic and environmental factors and affects people differently and to varying degrees. Each autistic person has a set of strengths and challenges that are distinct from any other autistic person and the way (s)he/she learns, thinks or solves problems can range from highly skilled to severely challenged. ASD may occur in persons across all ethnic, racial, and economic groups.
April was Autism Awareness month, so we put together a guide for teachers and behavior health staff that defines autism spectrum disorders, their diagnostic criteria and educational accommodations for lesson planning and teaching strategies.

What does all the popular press mean for the use of tablet technologies with children with autism? Get the answers to these and many more!
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism is a group of
developmental brain
disorders, collectively
called Autism Spectrum
Disorder (ASD). The term
―spectrum‖ refers to the
wide range of
symptoms, skills, and
levels of impairment, or
disability, that children
with ASD can have. Some
children are mildly
impaired and some are
severe.
4. +
Causes and Genetic Factors for
ASD
Scientists don’t now the exact causes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but
research suggest that both genes and environment play important roles.
In the genetic factor, if one identical twin, who share the exact same genetic
code, has ASD, the other twin also had ASD 9 out of 10 cases. If one sibling has
ASD, the other siblings have 35 times the normal risk of also developing the
disorder.
Most people who develop ASD have no reported family history of autism, suggesting
that random, rare, and possibly many gene mutations are likely to affect a person’s
risk.
Any change to normal genetic information is called a mutation. Mutations can be
inherited, but some arise for no reason. Mutations can be helpful, harmful, or have
no effect.
Health experts recommend that children receive a number of vaccines early in life to
protect against dangerous, infectious diseases, such as measles.
Some parents think that vaccines are a part of the disorder, which has never been

Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) vary from one child to the
next, but in general, they fall into three areas:
Social Impairment
Communication difficulties
Repetitive and stereotyped behavior
Children with ASD do not follow typical patterns when developing social
and communication skills. Parents are usually the first to notice unusual
behaviors in their child.
Some babies with ASD become overly focused on certain objects, rarely
make eye contact, and fail to engage in typical back-and-forth play and
babbling with their parents.
The children that don’t show symptoms until after their second or even
third birthday start to lose interest in others and become silent, withdrawn,
or indifferent to social signals.
7. +
Treatment Options
There is no proven cure yet for ASD, but treating ASD
early, using school-based programs, and getting proper
medical care can greatly reduce ASD symptoms and increase
the child’s ability to grow and learn new skills.
8. +
Things Parents and Teachers Can
Do
Starting
as soon as a child has been diagnosed with ASD
Providing
focused and challenging learning activities at the proper developmental level for the child for at
least 25 hours per week
Having
small classes to allow each child to have one-on-one time with the therapist or teacher and small
group learning activities
Having
special training for parents and family
Encouraging
activities that include typically developing children, as long as such activities help meet a
specific learning goal
Measuring
and recording each child’s progress and adjusting the intervention program as needed
Providing
a high degree of structure, routine, and visual cues, such as posted activity schedules and
clearly defined boundaries, to reduce distractions
Guiding
Using
the child in adapting learned skills to new situations and settings and maintaining learned skills
a curriculum that focuses on:
Language and communication
Social skills
Self-help and daily living skills
Cognitive skills

What Teachers Need to Meet in the
Classroom…..
The classroom environment should be structured so that the
program is consistent and predictable. Students with an ASD learn
better and are less confused when information is presented
visually as well as verbally. Interaction with nondisabled peers is
also important, for these students provide models of appropriate
language, social, and behavioral skills.
Consistency and continuity are very important
Parents should always be involved in the program
Have the kids on a set schedule everyday
Make sure children have activities to do, to keep them busy (but
not too much)
Set them up front
Make sure they have something they can play with (like beads or
rubber snakes)
10. +
Tips for Teachers
Learn more about the Autism Spectrum
Make sure directions are given step-by-step, verbally, visually, and by providing
physical supports or prompts, as needed by the students. Students with autism
disorders often have trouble interpreting facial expressions, body language,
and tone of voice
Find out what the students’ strengths and interests are and emphasize them.
Create opportunities for success and give positive feedback and lots of
opportunities for practice.
Build opportunities for the students to have social and collaborative interactions
throughout the regular school day. Provide support, structure, and lots of
feedback.
If behavior is a significant issue for the student, seek help from expert
professionals (including parents) to understand the meanings of the behaviors
and to develop a unified, positive approach to resolving them.
Consistent routines and schedules; if you change the routine tell them ahead of
time
Work together with everybody.

Teachers Expectations
The only expectations that I
would think a teacher would
have for a student with ASD is
that they:
Try their best everyday
Complete some kind of goal
that they have set up for
them
That the child improves
somehow, someway
throughout the year

Statistics for children with ASD…
According to the National
Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH) and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), some form of autism
affects 2 – 6 of every 1,000
children, with the most recent
statistic being 1 in 110. ASDs
are four times more common in
boys than in girls, although Rett
Syndrome has only been
diagnosed in girls.
