Asperger’s Syndrome is a one of the disorders described under the pervasive developmental or autism disorders. Of all the pervasive developmental disorders, Asperger’s Syndrome has the most positive prognosis, and children with Asperger’s often become independently functioning adults. However, their social impairments often lead to psychological problems, including poor self-image and depression. Also, as adults, their social interactions will continue to be marked by typical Asperger’s disturbances, though, usually in more subtle form IF intervention has been initiated early and successfully.
This class will discuss Asperger’s Sydrome in school-age children. Topics covered will include:
diagnosis, motivation, interventions and treatments, and transition from school to work needs.
Sessions-by-session activities are listed below. These activities will be presented in either two day sessions with a minimum of 8 hours class time per day, or four day sessions with a minimum of 4 hours class time per session. Outside class assignments will include articles to read, handouts to read, a case study to read and develop a plan of action and an assignment using the internet to research information.
