At some point late last week, my mother came across a flyer for an Autism Parent Workshop being held in her hospital's clinic area, and naturally I was intrigued... until I saw the date.
12 Jan 2011?! At 8 in the morning? UGH!
I could have screamed.
OF COURSE it's in the middle of the week during school hours! haha It's Murphy's Law, after all.
("Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.")
Yes, I'm funny. :)
Anyway, one of the topics to be discussed at this workshop, as described on the flyer, is the school district's role in educating children with an ASD.
As you may have noticed in the title of this blog, this is only part one of the investigation. As I continue to form an opinion on this matter, I would really love to have a few of my readers start a discussion on this topic. Any opinions, questions, or ideas would be fair game, but please keep it respectful.
Until the next blog, when I will be revealing a more informed position on this on my behalf, I leave you with a few interesting YouTube videos, one of which is quite controversial -- "Abuse of Children With Autism in School".
*Let me make it perfectly clear that I am neither advocating nor admonishing this video. I simply found it intriguing, and would like to share it for that reason.*
An innocent explanation of what a few children with Asperger's (a high-functioning form of autism) experience while in the academic setting.
A seemingly feasible and effective option.
Emory University is a leading entity in autism research, promotion, and training.
The controversial video I neither advocate nor admonish.
What are your thoughts?
Blessings,
Tasha
