URL Interview with Laura Fiveash

This interview will allow you to write a response paper regarding Families with Exceptional Learners.

The questions I ask include:

Tell us about your family.

When did you find out about your children and their disabilities?

Tell us how you deal with these disabilities and how do they impact your family?

Tell us about school, particularly related to special education, IEPs, etc.

What would you want us to know about working with children with exceptionalities?

Use the instructions and rubric available on NEW assignments tab in Moodle to write your paper.

URL Video mentioned by Laura Fiveash re: the Language of Individuals with Autism.

If you would like to watch this video, stick it out for the first 3 minutes. It's hard to watch, but gives you an idea of what individuals with autism might be thinking, feeling, and trying to express or sooth themselves. The last 5 minutes give the translation through a Augmentative and Alternative Communication Device (AAC)
