Autism...Seeing The World From a Different Angle

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!

 

My name is Alisia and I am currently in my second year of a Master in Education program specializing in Special Education. During the summer I was offered a position as an Integration Aide to work with a young boy with an Austim Spectrum Disorder. While I had some experience teaching children on the spectrum, I actually knew very little about autism and what challenges awaited me. I created this blog in order to document what I have learned about Autism and my experience working with a young boy on the spectrum. A lot of what I have learned is a result of trial and error, online resources and an online training program I have been completing, which focuses on using principles of Applied Behavior Analysis in helping children with ASD. 

 

I hope you enjoy my blog and look forward to responding to any questions you may have!
