Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association in the first link below. Please review the diagnostic criteria.
ASD, in its name, mentions 'spectrum.' This is important because the individuals with ASD vary widely in their characteristics. Some individuals have mild characteristics and some are very severe, even coupling with another disability.

Behavioral and Emotional Disorders
We refer to mental disorders using different “umbrella” terms such as emotional disturbance, behavioral disorders, or mental illness. Beneath these umbrella terms, there is actually a wide range of specific conditions that differ from one another in their characteristics and treatment. These include (but are not limited to):
- anxiety disorders;
- bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depression);
- conduct disorders;
- eating disorders;
- obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); and
- psychotic disorders.

Getting Back to School After Disruption
Functional Behavioral Support Assessment_This will be used with extreme and persistent behaviors. Notice the ABC format to collect data (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence). When enough data is collected, the trigger or the response that is 'causing' the misbehavior becomes clear. The next step is to create a plan to change the behavior, based on what you know.
PPT_Positive Reinforcement Models
One strategy to use is to implement a Behavior Contract. This is an agreement between you, the student, and the parent. See example.

Learners Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Deaf - individual with very little or no functional hearing who often uses sign language to communicate.
Hard of Hearing - individual who has a mild-to-moderate hearing loss who may communicate through sign language, spoken language, or both.
Hearing Impaired, used to describe an individual with any degree of hearing loss, is a term offensive to many deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals because of the label "impaired."

Learners Who are Blind or Have Low-vision
When an individual is considered blind or functionally blind, it does not mean that there is no vision at all. There may be shadows or distorted vision. He or she uses tactile or auditory senses to perform daily tasks.
An individual has low vision when there is a significant loss of vision and when it cannot be corrected with eye glasses.
