Lesson # 1
Background: According to the “Autism Speaks” website Autism is defined as: Autism, or
autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social
skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths
and differences. We now know that there is not one autism but many types, caused by different
combinations of genetic and environmental influences.
Lesson Objective: The Student will practice controlling the volume of their voice in the
classroom with guidance from the teacher’s control o meter and the student feedback sheet.

Materials: 1. Student’s feedback sheet


2. Teacher’s control-o-meter

Methods: The teacher or EA will monitor the student’s behavior and give nonverbal cues to the
student’s volume levels on the control-0-meter. The student will then fill out the feedback sheet
allowing the teacher or EA to see how the student feels they are doing. At the end of each day
the student is to meet quickly with their teacher or EA to discuss the day. The idea is to
encourage and praise the good parts of the day and discuss the poor parts of the day.

Feedback Sheet: Student

Assessment: The control-o-meter will give immediate non-verbal feedback. The student will be
able to see when they are too loud or too quiet. The feedback sheet will allow the Teacher EA
and Resource teacher to track the student’s behavior and look for outside or emotional triggers
that maybe encouraging the volume of the students voice these triggers could then be controlled.

Lesson # 2
Background: According to The Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity , Dyslexia is defined as:
People with dyslexia have trouble matching the letters they see on the page with the
sounds those letters and combinations of letters make. And when they have trouble with
that step, all the other steps are harder. Dyslexic children and adults struggle to read
fluently, spell words correctly and learn a second language, among other challenges. But
these difficulties have no connection to their overall intelligence. In fact, dyslexia
is an unexpected difficulty in reading in an individual who has the intelligence to be a
much better reader. While people with dyslexia are slow readers, they often,
paradoxically, are very fast and creative thinkers with strong reasoning abilities.

Lesson Objective: The Student will practice study skills by using the chart to find a positive
why to attack home work.

Materials: 1. Student’s homework


2. Work Sheet

Methods: Student will take a few minutes to look at the homework and fill in chart then the
teacher will go over chart and make suggestions where the students could improve their plan of
attack for this home work.

Lesson # 3
Background: According to the education department of Newfoundland, developmental delay are
defined as:
Developmental delay is defined as a condition which represents a significant delay in the
process of development. It does not refer to a condition in which the child is slightly or
momentarily lagging in development. The presence of developmental delay is an
indication that the process of development is significantly affected, and that without
special intervention it is likely that the child's ability to attain normal developmental
milestones and educational performance at school would be jeopardized. Normal
development falls within a range and children whose maturation falls outside this range
could be provided with special education supports. More precisely these children have
skills deficits including specific delays in language, perception, meta-cognition, and
social, emotional and/or motor development. (NFL ed)

Lesson Objective: The Student will practice with number to improve their mathematic skills .

Materials: 1. Number of The Day sheet


2. Pencil

Methods: The teacher or EA will assist the student to do the “Number of The Day” sheet to
encourage the student to improve their math skills. Together they will work through the
questions on the worksheet.
