Topics that I have considered for my research topic are post secondary education for students with Autism, Autism disorder, learning support students and life skills students. I am considering these topics because I enjoy helping these kinds of people and I have helped many students in high school who have these disabilities and I feel this is what I should do with my life.
Post secondary education for students with Autism is basically preparing the student with Autism for college or some form of school or education after high school and even helping them through college as well. These students will need a lot of accommodations and special help along their way through school and college. This consists of extra time for completing tests or work, note takers or a personal assistant to read tests to them and help them when they need it.
Autism is a developmental disorder that usually appears between birth and 3 years of age. This disorder affects the brain from developing normally in social and communication skills. There are no known causes and no known cures for this disorder. There may be a combination of factors which lead to autism. Difficulties for the child may include pretend play, social interactions and verbal and nonverbal communications. Those affected by this disorder need more time and patients given to them and require many special needs.
Learning Support is helping students with minor disabilities in such areas in school such as mathematics, reading, writing and grammar. The key part in teaching learning support children is that we find out what it is that they are having trouble in and we make some accommodations and to the best of the teachers ability, teach the kids what we can as good and as thorough as we can.
Life Skills of special education students is helping those with developmental disabilities, learning disabilities so severe for day-to-day living and those with high functioning Autism or Autistic tendencies, or those with Asperger's disorder. Life Skills are basically skills that apply to everyday life (skills such as money management, hygiene, and shopping for groceries).
