w/out follow-up w/follow-up
• Traditional professional development (training without follow up to support implementation) yields a 5-10% implementation of strategies success rate.
• With follow up, that number can rise to 75-90%
![Page 9: Orientation & Foundations in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) & Effective Practices](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568163a7550346895dd4b4ea/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Theory of Mind
What I see is what others see. What I know is what others know.
What I feel is what others feel. What I believe is what others believe.

Autism is a Social Learning Disability
• We are wired to read social information into everything
• We are experts on faces and emotions most of the time
• Yawning (Senju et al., 2007)
• Social information is protective since it enables us to read situations

Communication Skills and Development
![Page 60: Orientation & Foundations in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) & Effective Practices](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568163a7550346895dd4b4ea/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Communication• Facial expression doesn’t augment communicative
intent
• Prosody tends to be flat or exaggerated and voice can be too loud or soft with rate of speech being too slow or too fast
• Language can be repetitive, overly formal, idiosyncratic
• Echolalia (processing the utterance as a whole “chunk”, not as individual words)
• Difficulty with conversations

Three ASD Communication “Facts”
1. In ASD expressive language and receptive language are not equal

Understanding Meaning• I didn’t say she stole my money (but someone said it).• I didn’t say she stole my money (I definitely didn’t say it).• I didn’t say she stole my money (but I implied it). • I didn’t say she stole my money (but someone stole it). • I didn’t say she stole my money (but she did something with
it).• I didn’t say she stole my money (she stole someone else’s).• I didn’t say she stole my money (she took something else).

Three ASD Communication Facts
2. If you didn’t write it down you didn’t say it.

Communication-Stress & Anxiety
3. Understanding and communicative expression breaks down under stress-
– Even if a student has verbal language, it may be difficult for him to communicate when upset
– A student under stress needs more visual and less verbal input
![Page 65: Orientation & Foundations in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) & Effective Practices](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568163a7550346895dd4b4ea/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Individuals with delays in language development are at risk for using challenging behaviors as a way to
communicate their needs and wants.

Restricted and Repetitive Patterns of Behavior
![Page 67: Orientation & Foundations in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) & Effective Practices](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568163a7550346895dd4b4ea/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Restricted and Repetitive Patterns of Behavior
• Narrow interest of abnormal intensity or focus
• Fascinations: numbers, sports facts, computers
• Inflexible adherence to specific nonfunctional routines or rituals
• Distress at unexpected changes
![Page 68: Orientation & Foundations in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) & Effective Practices](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568163a7550346895dd4b4ea/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Restricted and Repetitive Patterns of Behavior
• Stereotyped, repetitive motor mannerisms Hand or finger flapping Complex whole body movements
• Persistent preoccupation with parts of objects, such as spinning the wheels on a toy car

Sensory Differences Associated with ASD
• Not necessary in the diagnosis of ASD but virtually all individuals demonstrate sensory processing issues
• Strong reactions to everyday sensations
![Page 70: Orientation & Foundations in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) & Effective Practices](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568163a7550346895dd4b4ea/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Hypersensitivity(too sensitive)
• Sensitivity to bright light or the flicker of fluorescent lights
• Being fascinated with light and reflection
• Intense perception of colors • The smell or taste of any food
is too strong • Intolerance of the texture of
certain foods • Painful reaction to loud and /
or high noises • Overreaction to hot/cold • Intolerance of the feel of
clothes or shoes • Extreme touch sensitivity
Hyposensitivity(minimally responsive)
• Seems not to feel pain or temperature.
• Prone to inadvertent self-injury
• Seeks deep pressure (e.g. crawls under heavy carpets) and tight clothes
• Appears not to hear certain sounds
• The person might wave his/her hands around or rock back and forth or make strange noises in order to stimulate the senses

Signs of Sensory Difficulties• Putting hands over ears (sensitivity to noise),
vocalizing to override the sound• Flicking fingers in front of eyes (visual sensitivity) • Having meltdowns (sensory overload) • Not appearing to hear certain sounds or showing
panic reactions to certain unexpected sounds (noise)
• Rocking, pacing, fleeing

Autism Spectrum Disorders Sensory Characteristics
When I was a child, large noisy gatherings of relatives were overwhelming, and I would just lose control and throw temper tantrums.

“People expect cognition and social functioning to be equally developed. When kids with Asperger’s Syndrome experience difficulty they wrongly assume it is deliberate misconduct.”(A. Klin and F. Volkmar, 1997)
