Aspergers Syndrome- What is it all about?

This assignment was very useful to use in the classroom. In order to have all students engage in the lesson I have given videos along with textual websites. Students who have disabilities would be able to have a peer help them complete the assignment. If students had visual disabilities then we would use an audio reader for the students or an enlarged screen. If students had a learning disability they would have a peer or an aide help them complete the task. We would use notes that had the main ideas highlighted and also use audio of the teacher speaking about the important aspects of the research. Students would be involved with the Universal Design. We would make sure that all students would be involved while completing this project. We would be accommodating and make modifications for students. The questions would be simplified, the ideas would be highlighted, and the textual websites would be automated. My students would learn from the lesson and feel accomplished that they have become an expert on Asperger's Syndrome.
