Hi Christina, Lori and Pam! I am new to blogging so this will be a learning experience for me. I am the facilitator for our LSEM Study team. Our topic is Autism Spectrum Disorder. This is an interest of mine but I am not an expert on this topic at all. I chose this topic because I have an interest in learning. My interest in this toptic stems from the awareness that I am seeing this disorder in our student population. I want to gain understanding. As a group we need to define specific areas of study on the topic.
1. Please introduce yourself and the reason for your interest in this topic.
2. List specific questions we might research.
2. List any books or websites that are a possible resource.
We will conduct our fall "meeting" using this blog. After everyone "introduces themselves, we can make assignments for each of us to research. I will investigate the possibility of our second meeting in January to be a phone conference.

Hello Sharon, Lori, and Pam!
I am excited to have been chosen for this topic! The reason I chose Autism Study is because of the increasing number of students that are classified as being somewhere on the Autism Spectrum. I have a new student with Aspergers and I am not exactly certain of his needs. He is extremely bright, but lacking heavily in social skills. So, my interest in Autism and the entire Autism Spectrum is great!!!!
I look forward to researching topics such as inclusion strategies, attention and activity, cognition, sensorimotor symptoms, behavior and communication.
These are all areas of concern I have notices with any of my students who have autism.
I look forward to working with each of you :)
Christina
