Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist

The Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) was developed by Bernard Rimland and Stephen M. Edelson of the Autism Research Institute, to fill this need, which is especially urgent right now because of the 20 or more studies starting soon to evaluate secretin.
The ATEC is a one-page form designed to be completed by parents, teachers, or caretakers. It consists of 4 subtests: I. Speech/Language Communication (14 items); II. Sociability (20 items); III. Sensory/ Cognitive Awareness (18 items); and IV. Health/Physical/Behavior (25 items).

The ATEC is not a diagnostic checklist. It basically provides several subscale scores as well as a total score to be used for comparison at a later date. Basically, the lower the score, the fewer the problems.

12 Days of Inclusion

INCLUSIVE SCHOOLS WEEK is December 2-7, 2013!

Every year I share some sort of holiday countdown in the form of recommendations or ideas. Last year, my twelve days countdown featured recmmended books. The year before, I suggested gifts for educators, families, and students. This year, the launch of “12 Days of Inclusion” comes immediately following the release of my latest book, From Text Maps to Memory Caps: 100 MORE Ways to Differentiate Instruction in the K-12 Inclusive Classroom. Therefore, I am using these first two weeks of December to highlight a dozen of my favorite ideas from the book.

12 Days of Inclusion // Paula Kluth: Toward Inclusive Classrooms and Communities

Paula Kluth shared a link.

When your books become tattered, don’t throw them away! Instead, cut them up and create a series of stick puppets to use in retellings, dramatic play, and as a tool for creating new narratives.
Puppets make lessons whimsical, bring a bit of levity to the classroom, and provide opportunities for writing, communication, and social...

Designing Common Core Tests For All Proving a Challenge - On Special Education - Education Week

What about Common Core Tests administered to Students with Disabilities? Are the Common Core Tests 'fair' and 'appropriate' ? Are Students who receive Special Education Services provided testing accommodations, modifications and other testing considerations?

Cameras in Special Needs Classrooms

WHY AM I DOING THIS? Its for the safety of the children who cant go home and tell there parents how there day was. Its for the teachers who are accused of assault and never happen. It would be good for both students and teachers. Say a child was hitting himself and bruising himself then blaming teacher. Or what if a child was hit, grabbed and screamed at for crying by an aide. But the child could not go home and say what happen. U have to have a lot of patience working in this field. More and more im hearing stories on how bad stuff is happening inside these rooms. Sad but true. Invasion of privacy??? So it should be private when a teacher aid hits a child?? or when child hits teacher?? no- this should happen for the safety of both teacher and little to non verbal children. President Obama and all other leaders all over the world, WE NEED CAMERAS IN SPECIAL NEEDS ROOMS FOR SAFETY.

Camera's in Special needs classroom can help out a lot. They would only be there if something happens. Say a Aide had to restrain child because child was out of control. And the child was hitting himself and them blaming aide. The video would be there that the aid was not harming the child. What if a child who never walked all of a sudden started walking across classroom, that parent would be proud to see that video. Or if a child was being verbal abuse, that would be on video. So many positives on why this should be done. The reason I have not said all classrooms is because the larger classroom are made up of 20-25 student who talk well. That would be 20-25 great witnesses if something were to occur. But in a special needs room there are 8-12 children with 1-2 teachers and 4-6 aides. Most children in these classroom have difficulty in communication. Please help, lets try to make this happen for the special needs children. ♥
