It was great to read last week's posts and see how much you learned from watching the video on schizophrenia in young children. For those of you who are interested, here is a link to a Q&A with Jani's parents:
The Discovery Health Channel aired a full documentary on Jani. More video clips about her case can be found here:
Best Practices in Assessment
This week you will be viewing a lecture by Dr. Sally Ozonoff on Best Practices in the Assessment of Autism. The video is below:
The video is one hour long, so we will take time off of next week's class, which will end at 8:30 PM. As you listen to Dr. Ozonoff, you will see that she addresses topics we have discussed in class, such as distinctions between autism and Aspergers. It is really great to hear this presentation from one of our textbook authors and a leading scholar in the field of autism.
After listening to Dr. Ozonoff's presentation, reflect and comment on how the information she presents informs the overall assessment process for you as an educator. How does a FBA fit into the assessment picture? How do educator's bridge clinical assessments and classroom practice? What do best practices can you recommend for bridging clinical assessment, educational assessment and classroom practice?
