Autism Challenges
I am Interested in understanding Autism behavior challenges to
improve classroom management. As a Special Education teacher
understanding Autism behaviors can be very beneficial. A
projection of 1 in every 68 citizens in the country has various
types of autism; boys are more prevalent than girls. Several
professionals think that this (ASD) is linked hereditary or
through the atmosphere. Studies show in a classroom of 18 or
more. Typically, at least two of the classroom children for each
one student are diagnosed with (ASD). Children with (ASD)
show disruptive behaviors, and many of them have problems
like harming self and anger tantrum. Behaviors form anxiety for
parents and specialists, because it inconsistent with the
development of desired behaviors and communication skills
(DSM-5, 2013), and have risks on child himself and others.
Findings show after researching over a hundred teachers in a
public major school of students who strugglers with ASDs.
Lack of classroom management, and inconsistent strategies
played a huge factor in behaviors. An effort to be made by
schools to address the teacher’s perception of causes of
challenging behavior as it has an influence on their choice of
management strategies. Also, the teachers agreed that the
behavior was learned,
and could be improved, but they did not often use strategies that
are commonly considered to be effective, at least within the
fields of ABA and PBS (Baron, Groden, & Lipsitt 2006).
Consistency and reinforcement, they are solutions for resolving
occurring behaviors, which increase the likelihood that behavior
will continue to occur or occur more often (Cooper, Heron, &
Heward, 2007).
Keywords and help with searches
Definition of Keywords is described as thoughts in a subject
area that drive and tell what your content in tells. Phrased or
keywords are put into the “search queries” or search engine to

3. generate various types of information, descriptions, film, and
duplicates pertaining to your content. The keywords are vital to
the search because they are the key player among what a person
is probing for and the matter provide to fill up that need. The
significant of keywords search will establish what type of data
obtain.
Keywords used in search
Keywords: autism, autism spectrum disorders, family-school
partnerships, parent-teacher communication, Autism Spectrum
Disorder (ASD), Positive Behavioral Support (PBS), classroom
practice
Search Limiters and how they help with search
Search limiters allow a student to make small adjustments to
their research so they are getting the relevant research that they
need for their papers. It aids with papers in that a student is
getting what they need from a trustworthy source. First, I
looked at articles on only Autism Challenging Behaviors in
Sage Journals Online. Second, I adjusted my search from the
later years searching in Gale Academic, and Pro Quest. Lastly, I
looked exclusively as EBSCO host Education Research
Complete (Hae17). Now I progress to peer review articles and
how they are imperative to research.
Peer review meaning and the imperativeness
In my research I find that peer review articles are ones that have
been accepted for use in peer reviewed journals. They have been
judged appropriate as they are reliable. Examiners that retain
these items possess legitimacy and authority from their cohorts;
it is essential to use these as a person needs to have support for
their claims. As the day ends peer review presents a spine for
any, lecture paper that is done.
What I learned from two of the resources
I learned a lot from what will eventually be vital to me as I

4. move through this degree. First, I learned EBSCO host is my
preferred database of choice as it is easy to navigate and to use.
Secondly, I discovered that it is complicated to use Sage
Journals Online as one is required to create an account for
viewing of the articles and this was challenging as well as time
consuming.
Conclusion
Even after reading many articles, and researching various
searches by using the different types of search engines,
keywords, and search limiters to find my content topic of
interest. As a classroom teacher when I encounter a behavior
issue from my 7-year-old autism boy in class it would still be
tough to determine if he is just acting his age or if he is having
a behavior issue.

Activity 7: Identifying a Topic in Your Specialization
“The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an
open one.”
Malcolm Forbes
Important Criteria for This Assignment
As you work on this assignment, keep the following
criteria in mind.
1. You should incorporate five sources in all in your
paper. The syllabus points out that three should come from the
sources you found in unit four. In addition, you should locate
two additional sources this week.
2. Use in-text citations to support the key claims that you
will make throughout your paper. Guidance on how to properly
format in-text citations was offered in previous templates.
3. Provide properly formatted references at the end of
your assignment. Guidance on how to properly format
references was offered in previous templates.
4. Use the template I provided for this assignment so that
your headings are properly formatted according to APA form
and style protocols as mentioned on page 62 of the APA
manual.
Now is the Time to Get Ahead of Schedule

9. Please read the following policy statement from Northcentral
University. In brief it says
your final assignment must be submitted in the course room
before 11:59 P.M. Arizona Time.
If you do not make it, the courseroom locks you out and that
can have serious repercussions. You can determine Arizona
Time by clicking here. See official policy below.
“NCU courses officially close on the final Sunday of the course
at 11:59 P.M. Arizona time, at which time, students are no
longer able to post assignments or log attendance in the system.
Once a course is officially closed faculty should proceed with
submitting the final grade earned by the end of the course, even
if students have not submitted all of the required assignments
for the final week of class. There is no final submission grace
period at the end of a course; therefore, the final assignment
must be submitted before the course closes.”

Self-assessment Reflection Paper
First and Last Name
Northcentral University

10. Self-Assessment Reflection Paper
[Develop a brief introduction under this title. The final
sentence of your introduction should begin with the following
phrase: The purpose of this assignment is…]
Why I Want to Study This Topic
[As you develop each section of this assignment, you
should support your key claims using in-text citations. In all,
you should utilize five sources throughout your paper. As the
syllabus points out, you should use three sources you located in
week four and two new sources that you found this week.]
What I Already Know or Presume about This Topic
[This section of your paper will be essentially a personal
reflection about your understanding of this topic. If possible,
support your key learnings with in-text citations showing that
other scholars have learned the same things.]
Past Experiences that may Create Obstacles or Bias during My
Examination of This Topic
[This is a very challenging part of this assignment. It is
hard for us to identify our own biases. Here is a typical
example that a student might write about in this section.
Perhaps you are the parent of a child who has been
diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. That is why you
chose autism as your topic of interest. However, your
experiences as a parent may not be representative of what
educational professionals and other parents have experienced in
dealing with autism. Therefore, to some extent, you may find it
challenging to address this topic in an objective manner. Often
we are drawn to a particular topic because of personal
challenges associated with it. Those personal challenges may
make it difficult for us to be objective.]
Why This Topic Will Sustain My Interest throughout the

11. Capstone Project
[Your program will lead to a major project where you pull
together what you have learned about your topic of choice. In
this section you should present reasons why you believe this
topic will still be of interest to you when you reach the end of
your program. However, this is only a preliminary exploration
you are not locked into this topic and it might change when you
reach your capstone project at the end of your master’s
journey.]
