Autism is a serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact. Autism can’t be cured, and it can last for years or a lifetime. Around 200,000 cases appear each year. Awareness of autism as a disorder came to the forefront some 70 years ago, but its prevalence and frequency as a diagnosed condition has increased more recently. Because many syndromes and other related conditions comprise the commonly known “spectrum,” addressing autism can be a challenge. “Autism spectrum

INTRODUCTION Autism is a spectrum disorder characterized by deficits in social skills and language and the presence of restrictive and repetitive interests (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000). About one-third to one-half of individuals with autism are not able to communicate their daily needs (Noens, 2006). Children with autism have varying degrees of difficulty using and comprehending language, hence, the name Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, the two terms, autism and ASD are used
Therapy Dogs as an Emerging Alternative of Support for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Abstract Many areas of functioning are impaired in the Autistic Spectrum Disorder among children.

The most effective methods of learning a foreign language Languages may be defined as one of the most relevant ways of communication for many communities or countries. Every territory is represented by its own dialect, culture, religion or history. All these societies could not have the capability to understand each other for centuries because of the cultural and linguistic differences.

Children are the one who will shape our country's future, but how can they make a good future if they are not taken care of correctly? The influence of a parent on their child is extremely important, and a child’s development can move quickly, especially when they are young. Sometimes children are born into a bad home, and this can lead to setbacks and delays in a child’s growth. In addition, the government can sometimes get involved and remove children from these bad situations, but a lot of people
Social isolation is commonly defined as a low quantity and quality of contact with others, and includes “number of contacts, feeling of belonging, fulfilling relationships, engagement with others, and quality of network members to determine social isolation” (Nicholas & Nicholson, 2008).

Learning a language from a social perspective is important because it gives the child the opportunity to interact with others and the environment
4.2 Productive Word Associations Task The most widely-used tool for collecting information about the associative links between lexical items and the structure of language learners’ mental lexicon is a free Word Associations Task. Invented by Galton (1883), this technique was initially used in psychology and psychiatry as means to access people’s unconscious motivations and to expose mental disorders. Kent and Rosanoff (1910) conducted the first English-based large-scale study, which was carried out

Mary’s three children are Scott who is 11, and the twins Katie and Stephen who are 10.

Gilbert and Arnie, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder, showing their relationship to each other and with the rest of their family. It illustrates how they all cope with Arnie’s disability, and how they all interact with the rest of their community. Throughout the movie, the screenwriter uses the plot to get across the message of how difficult it can be to care for someone with such an extreme disability, effectively portray the communication disorder of Autism Spectrum Disorder, and show how the disorder
developing children, these changes and the rate at which the brain develops are very different in children with autism spectrum disorders. As a result of these differences, over 96% of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) exhibit atypical behavioural responses to sensory information report sensitivities in multiple sensory disciplines. Comparable to the wide-range of spectrum severity that is seen in the

What does the word “Autism” mean to you? Most people think of the severe aspect of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The truth is, there are many different functioning levels of autism.
