Chapter 14 talks about Autism. I did not realize how important it is to initialize skill building techniques that will build on there future work skills. In the chapter, it stated that if you wait to focus on working skills until high school years, then it would be too late to build the skills needed for an autistic child to be successful in the working world. Before reading this chapter I honestly felt that a child with autism may be better served in a special education classroom, but know I see how important social interaction is in the development of an autistic child.
Chapter 15 discusses physical and health impairments. Children with congenital health issues, or health issues that occur later in childhood years can be very successful students. The main issue with these students is having an issue that will take them out of class for an extended period of time. If a student has missed school a lot, then they may require additional help or a home bound teacher. Some students fall so far behind that they eventually require special education services to give them the extra attention in specific areas.
