Underlying Characteristics Checklist Early Intervention Ucc Ei

Developed as a component of the Ziggurat Model, the Underlying Characteristics Checklist (UCC) is an informal, nonstandardized assessment tool designed to identify characteristics across a number of domains associated with ASD. It is not designed or intended for diagnosis of ASD. The UCC is especially helpful for those working with school-aged individuals as the information gathered from the UCC provides a starting point for developing an IEP. The UCC and the Ziggurat Model in tandem lead to a program that is based on individual needs and uses the best practices in the field.UCC-HF - intended for individuals who are high functioning, including those with Asperger Syndrome. Package contains 1 instructional manual and 20 blank checklists.

Combining their years of experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum, the authors bring practical ideas and teaching methods for offering visual supports to students with autism spectrum disorders.

Teachers, clinicians, and administrators are being asked more frequently than ever before to respond to students with an increasingly complex set of needs and behaviors. Lesson Plan a la Carte guides educators through a simple, step-by-step process of creating an integrated lesson plan that addresses the social, environmental and communication challenges that block kids¿ access to academics and other learning opportunities. This model helps to integrate the best clinical and educational practices into a plan that speaks a common language and aligns and focuses priorities, goals and strategies.

This book is a must-have resource for all special educators and general educators who work with students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The strategies and teaching techniques discussed here are those that have shown great promise in helping students with ASD to succeed. The underlying premise is that students with ASD should be explicitly taught a full range of social, self-help, language, reading, writing and math skills, as are their typically developing classmates. Each chapter provides teachers with practical information about how to approach the tasks of determining what to teach and how to teach, with clearly defined steps for implementation. The approaches described here are based on the view that the classroom must be structured as an environment that reflects high expectations and provides sufficient support from teaching staff and peers. This invaluable volume offers teachers state-of-the-art knowledge on how to help students with ASD succeed.
