"Top Ten Things to Know about the CDC Report on Autism Prevalence"
A SafeMinds Statement – March 27, 2014
Top Ten Things to Know About the CDC Report on Autism PrevalenceA 29% increase in two years.Not Just Genetics. Not Just Increased Awareness and Better Diagnosis!
On March 27, 2014 the CDC published “Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder Among Children Aged 8 Years — Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, 11 Sites, United States, 2010” (MMWR Surveillance Summaries / Vol. 63 / No. 2). The study finds the rates of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) of children born in 2002 have increased to 1 in 68, up from 1 in 88 of children born in 2000. With males five times more likely to develop autism, the prevalence rate increased from 1 in 54 in boys born in 2000 to 1 in 42 in boys born in 2002. SafeMinds is in the process of reviewing the most recent report but has these comments based on preliminary data presented to the autism community. A more detailed analysis will be available soon at www.safeminds.org.Your Family. Our Planet. Their Future.

March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
Let’s raise awareness about people with developmental disabilities.
March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month--but the movement to promote understanding and community involvement is a year round effort.
In celebration of raising awareness and inclusion of people with developmental disabilities, Relias Learning is offering a free course to spread knowledge of different types of disabilities. Feel free to share this link with your staff, families and friends! This is your chance to raise awareness with the community of individuals that interact with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Everyday provider agencies, families and individuals foster people first language, inclusion services, and general understanding to enrich the lives of 54 million Americans (one out of every five individuals) who have an intellectual and developmental disability. Let’s continue to raise awareness together!
Let us know how you are raising awareness. Use #DDAware and @reliaslearning on Twitter or Facebook.

Inclusion Toolbox Practical Ideas for Faith Communities Including Children and You
This webinar will offer an 'inclusion tool box' for churches and faith communities for children and youth with autism spectrum disorder. This is a basket of ideas in making accommodations and modifications to worship settings, transitions, new environments, and equipping peers to receive that individual. Newman calls these ideas 'communicating without opening your mouth' as they are based on strategies not dependent on lots of language abilities.

'Reaching My Autistic Son Through Disney'
In our first year in Washington, our son disappeared.
Just shy of his 3rd birthday, an engaged, chatty child, full of typical speech — “I love you,” “Where are my Ninja Turtles?” “Let’s get ice cream!” — fell silent. He cried, inconsolably. Didn’t sleep. Wouldn’t make eye contact. His only word was “juice.”
Read and watch a video about Owen's accomplishments, before and after signs of Autism.

House Bills Aim to Aid Students with Disabilities
"The majority of kids in school with disabilities, you would never know had a disability," said Mary Jacob, Executive Director of the Statewide Louisiana Parent Training and Information Center. "These are kids with learning disabilities. These are kids with things like dyslexia or ADHD."
According to the Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council, in 2012, 39% of Louisiana students with disabilities dropped out of school.
"We're expecting all of those children to perform just like our children without disabilities or beyond a non-diploma track where they count for nothing and they can't get a diploma," said the President of the Louisiana Association of Special Education Administrators, Laureen Mayfield.
House Bills 993 and 1015, written by St. Tammany Parish Representative John Schroder and Baton Rouge Senator Dan Claitor, aim to change that.
"Working to the highest standards that the people closest to them know they can work to and they achieve it. Why shouldn't they have the recognition that they deserve?" asked Cindy Arceneaux, Project Director for the Statewide Louisiana Parent Training and Information Center

Digital Assessments Evolve for Students With Autism
In this new environment, students with autism are tested electronically—often by adaptive assessments that adjust the level of difficulty of questions based on how students are answering them—and the assessments and activities are standards-based, Ms. Bowser added.
Assistive technologies for students with autism have progressed with the help of iPads, tablets, and a plethora of apps that address learning, social skills, and communication, according to experts. Built into many of those technologies are new methods of gauging what students know, using adaptive techniques and multimedia features.

Assistive Tech for Testing Merges Into Mainstream
As students with disabilities in Virginia's Fauquier County district take online assessments, they have access to a toolbox of technologies that can make it easier to show what they know. An optic mouse can help magnify text; a text-to-speech tool provides a spoken version of exam questions; and various switches and joysticks, for those unable to use a mouse and keyboard, can be merged with the assessment.

Royal Carribean Program is Latest Entrant into Autism-Friendly Travel
"When you think about accessibility on a cruise line, you often think about physical, visual and hearing disabilities," said Ron Pettit, manager of ADA and Accessibility Compliance for Royal Caribbean International. "But we want to make sure we are offering services to all of our guests. When we noticed a trend a while back with land-based hotels and movie theaters offering more autism-friendly programs, we immediately wondered, 'well, what can we do about this here?'" Since then the company has been working to incorporate programs and amenities that follow guidelines provided by Autism on the Seas, the leading travel organization catering to vacationers with autism and other developmental disabilities.

Autism and intellectual disability incidence linked with environmental factors
An analysis of 100 million U.S. medical records reveals that autism and intellectual disability (ID) rates are correlated at the county level with incidence of genital malformations in newborn males, an indicator of possible congenital exposure to harmful environmental factors such as pesticides.
Autism rates—after adjustment for gender, ethnic, socioeconomic and geopolitical factors—jump by 283 percent for every one-percent increase in frequency of malformations in a county. Intellectual disability rates increase 94 percent. Slight increases in autism and ID rates are also seen in wealthier and more urban counties.
...
Although autism and intellectual disability have genetic components, environmental causes are thought to play a role. To identify potential environmental links, Rzhetsky and his team analyzed an insurance claims dataset that covered nearly one third of the U.S. population. They used congenital malformations of the reproductive system in males as an indicator of parental exposure to toxins.

Report of the Joint Task Force on Common Core State Standards
This report was developed and produced by a joint task force representing the
Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE), Association of State
Supervisors of Mathematics (ASSM), National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics
(NCSM), and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). After Common
Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) were released on June 2, 2010, the
task force was formed to develop recommendations on how to support
implementation of the CCSSM and to discuss how the four organizations could
collaborate while supporting their memberships and a shared vision of mathematics
education. This report has been shared with the Board of Directors of each
organization.
Members of the Task Force
Diane Briars, NCSM President, Pittsburgh
Kathryn Chval, University of Missouri (AMTE)
Linda Curtis-Bey, New York City Public Schools (NCSM)
Brad Findell, ASSM President, Ohio Department of Education
Diana L. Kasbaum, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (ASSM)
Gladis Kersaint, University of South Florida (AMTE)
Glenda Lappan, Michigan State University (Chair, NCTM)
Matt Larson, Lincoln NE Public Schools, (NCTM)
This report identifies activities needed to support those involved in the
mathematics education of K–12 students as they work to understand and use the
Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for mathematics. Members of the Task
Force are committed to promoting an equity agenda that considers the impact of
CCSS on all students. In order to meet this goal the framework focuses on
developing the capacity of the field through:
