Signs of Autism
One of the websites that I frequently visit is Autism speaks. Many of the students that I interact with have Autism and the more that I am able to understand them, the more that I think I can reach out to them.

Evaluations.....
Your Child's Evaluation
Are you confused by your child's evaluation? Many parents who have undergone this process would say, "yes". Unless you have had an extensive amount of knowledge in the field of psychometrics, statistics and psychology - it is very difficult to find this information accessible. In order to determine how you can understand what is written about your child, it is very important to have working knowledge of what those assessments measure. If you need additional assistance with reading this information, please feel free to contact me.

1 in 5 teens may have hearing loss....
As an educator for middle schoolers, I have always wondered why students had such a difficult time following directions. I asked myself, are they really trying to ignore me, or are they having a hard time hearing what I have to say?After reading this article, I was a little shocked to see what the findings were. If you have any doubts about how well your student is listening (even if you have asked them to do their homework or clean up after themselves ten times) please consult with a doctor.

For some teachers, differentiation is a difficult task to execute in the classroom. The article link above describes some very basic ways to differentiate in your classroom. Regardless of who is in your classroom, there are some students that may need to have information presented differently than how you think they should have it presented.
