     Whether family consists of a Mom and Dad, single parent, a grandparent or
     other raising a child on the autism spectrum, it is important to
     acknowledge that autism spectrum disorders “happen” to the whole. The
     challenges and triumphs affect every member of the household. Asperger
     Syndrome may be difficult to deal with, both for the person diagnosed, and
     those living under the same roof. It can lead to many changes in the
     family, both inside and outside the home. The foundation is built here. The
     household should be the mainstay for on-going support. Luckily, with
     heightened awareness, there are many places to go for additional training,
     support and help.

     of Social Development. Perhaps one of the highest hurdles for a person with
     AS or HFA is social skills. This is a direct result from difficulty reading
     social situations and cues; understanding one’s own feeling states; and
     challenges with picking up social learning.  You may seek the aid of the
     many services available to help those diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome to
     learn social functioning, including: social skill groups speech and
     language therapy occupational therapy special education services These
     skills may be learned but know the brain is hard-wired differently than
     that of a neurotypical. That is why consistent training and practice is
     very important.

USING GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS TO IMPROVE YOUR CHILD’S ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Continuing with instructional supports, this week’s blog will focus on a simple,
yet powerful strategy: graphic organizers.

> “Graphic organizers are tools that help your brain think.”

MOST TEACHERS USE GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS BUT MIGHT NOT BE FULLY AWARE OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE BENEFITS OF THIS VISUAL SUPPORT. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS CAN ACCOMPLISH
THE FOLLOWING KEY ELEMENTS TOWARD INSTRUCTIONAL SUCCESS:



 * understand important data with very little reading involved
 * think logically
 * identify main concepts
 * assign specific labels to concepts
 * sort relevant and non-relevant details
 * make predictions
 * identify cause and effect
 * identify and understand consequences
 * organize and sequence data
 * understand time lines
 * visualize and understand abstract content

Researchers found that when content is illustrated with diagrams, the
information can be maintained by students over a longer period of time.


GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS PORTRAY KNOWLEDGE IN A MEANINGFUL WAY WHICH HELPS BRING
CLARITY TO IDEAS AS CONNECTIONS ARE MADE.



Research shows that graphic organizers are key to assisting students to improve
academic performance. In creating an organizer, pertinent aspects of a concept
or topic are arranged into a pattern using labels. Research suggests that this
process aids comprehension for several reasons. Graphic organizers arrange
information in a visual pattern that complements an established framework,
making information easier to understand and learn.

Graphic organizers may look very different across different grade levels across
different subject areas. In this example, a kindergarten class is organizing key
ideas from “The Giving Tree” using real objects on the graphic organizer.



In the following examples, information is organized according to the five senses
in two different ways. Often, teachers can provide a choice of type of graphic
organizer to the students. Which would you choose of these two different graphic
organizers?




REMEMBER, GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS CAN BECOME MORE MOTIVATING IF A STUDENT’S INTEREST
IS INCORPORATED WITHIN THE GRAPHIC ORGANIZER. IN THIS EXAMPLE, THE STUDENT’S
INTEREST IN ANIMALS IS INCORPORATED IN THE TOPIC/FOCAL POINT AND AS A
DECORATION.
