    Sutcliffe, Paul A., et al. "Effect of Attentional State on Frequency Discrimination: A Comparison of Children With ADHD On and Off Medication." Journal of Speech, Language & Hearing Research 49.5 (2006): 1072-1084. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 8 Nov. 2010. This is journal article examines the difference between children with ADHD on and off medication. The researchers ran a test that judged the children's auditory awareness. The researchers tested both kids with ADHD and kids without ADHD. The results showed that children with ADHD performed much worse without the stimulant medication than the children without ADHD. This shows that auditory awareness can directly be influenced by the attention status of children who have ADHD.

  •  
    Hourigan, Ryan, and Amy Hourigan. "Teaching Music to Children with Autism : Understandings and Perspectives." EBSCOhost. Web. 18 Nov. 2010.\n\n- This study focuses on Autistic students that primarily learn from audio or music (auditory). It starts by briefly explaining what Autism is again. It then goes on to list similar disorders that are under the same "umbrella" as Autism. It lists many concerns that Autistic students have, so that you can relate to them easier. It also talks about how to teach Autistic children music. This would be a good example for a teaching method in a paper.\n\nTHIS SOURCE IS SCHOLARLY.

Teaching Autistic Children - 1 views

    Humphrey, Andy. "Teaching Autistic Children." How To Do Things. Web. 18 Nov. 2010. - This site talks a little about how teaching children with Autism can be different than teaching "regular" children. It touches base on the three basic types of learning. For example, visual learners like reading or seeing a demonstration. Auditory learners learn better from listening to lectures or audio tapes. Lastly, kinesthetic learners learn best from movement, or trying something out physically for themselves. Autistic kids usually focus purely on one of these methods, as opposed to unhandicapped kids, who usually display a mixture of the techniques.

    O'Brien, Justin, et al. "Discriminating children with autism from children with learning difficulties with an adaptation of the Short Sensory Profile." Early Child Development & Care 179.4 (2009): 383-394. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 9 Nov. 2010. In the autistic spectrum, there are two groups of responders to sensory stimuli. One is hyper-sensitive and the other is hypo-sensitive. Autistic kids who are hyper-sesitive often have habits of flicking the ear, clapping or moving the hands in front of the eyes, and grinding the teeth. Some studies have shown that kids with autism have greater sensory symptoms than children with regular learning disabilities, although some say that they have vey similar symptoms. From the studies, autistic children showed more impairment in auditory hyper-sensitive and visual factors compared to the learning disability group or the control group.
