Augmentative Communication For Autistic Students
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Autistic people are unable to communicate in the same ways that society expects one to communicate, inasmuch as their thought processes do not follow the same logical progression as others. Because of this severe limitation, it is imperative that an autistic individual expresses his or herself through augmentative methods – object communication -- such as photographs, drawings, pictograms and gestures. With the ability to express oneself in the typically accepted manner extremely difficult, the autistic person can more readily point, nod and acknowledge augmented methods as a means by which to make others understand their needs. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Autism: Research-Based Instruction
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Research-based instructional approaches have afforded teachers and parents alike the opportunity to reach and teach special populations that historically have had few options for educational achievement. In light of the fact that learning difficulties are inherent to autism, it stands to reason how research-based approaches such as applied behavior analysis are the most appropriate and effective ways by which to overcome the challenges related to teaching those who cannot learn with conventional methods. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Beginning SEI Approaches
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper on Structured English Immersion (SEI), which is a methodology for teaching Second Language Learners (ESLs) in which instruction is designed to be at the "learner's readiness level," with teachers speaking in English between 70 and 90 percent of the time (Rodriguez and Higgins, 2005, p. 236). Baker (1998) points out that SEI is not the equivalent of an All-English approach, as the students' native language is used to a limited extent. Supporters of SEI assert that students are capable of learning "English and non-language subjects taught in English" at a desirable level of assimilation simultaneously (Rodriguez and Higgins, 2005). This examination of SEI instruction describes three approaches that are applicable to the needs of beginning students. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
