    "Childhood has always had its fears - from monsters under the bed, to sleep-away camp, to schoolyard bullies. But normal jitters, about these and other childhood challenges, become an issue when they interfere with regular activities, from riding the bus to going to bed at night. And this kind of debilitating anxiety seems to be on the rise: now affecting close to 1 in 5  kids"

    Transitioning from high school to college is a huge transition. For many it is an exciting time but for others it is the fear of the unknown. You go from your parents being in charge of your everyday life to you being the sole oerson in charge. You suddenly have to be organized and in charge of not only your own learning but your living quarters. To be successful in college you need to make social connections, use the school they have resources to help you. This is a great resource to use with seniors in high school or juniors preparing to go to school. This gives them a taste of what to expect and that is okay to feel anxious and scared. Those are valid feelings but know who to contact at the school who can support you such as a RA or guidance. Schools have many resources discover them before you really need them so that you are prepared and feel secure that they are there if and when you need them.

  • “Computers and video games are not going to teach a kid with autism how to interact socially.”
  • “Children with autism like to look at videos and TVs over and over again,” she says, which can be an effective way of conveying information, but, she says, “my fear always with technology is that by the very nature of autism, [the students] find it easier to interact with inanimate things rather than with people.”

    This article focuses on children with autism. Children with autism typically have communication and social needs. Technology can assist in the communication needs but the author warns against using technology to teach social skills. This is due to the fact that a computer is not a real person. To teach social skills children need to be interacting with other people. It is all about creating a balance. This reitterates the fact that no child autism or not is the same. Not one thing is going to work for all. Through having this resource and using co-workers, parents, etc... as resources we can better meet the needs of all students. Not one particular learning experience will meet the needs of all students. We as teachers need to vary the methods we use to teach depending on our individual students.
