1 Hour- I went to an autism walk at Madison Jr. High and was able to comunicate with the children there and better understand what they are thinking while at this activity. I was also able to talk to a few parents whos children have autism and it was a really cool experiance to be able to be there and experiance this fun filled day.
Friday/ April 1st: 2 Hours at the Developmental Workshop:
This experience was awesome! I loved working with the adults there. My job today was going out to the community and watching them in a social environment trying to find specific food items and the logical places of where they could be. They had to pay for their items with minimal help. It was really interesting to see as well how they had to cross the parking lot making sure there were no cars that would hurt them. It was fun to see everyone so happy to be able to do the things they were told.
2 hours(7 days) I work in an elementary school where I worked with two students. One of the two had ADD and the other was mute. It was interesting to see how the students were being observed and it was interesting to see how they would participate. The student with ADD loved attention and thrived off of being told he was right. I thought he was ahead and very smart but just got board easily. It was interesting to see the mute child use his hands to try to express himself. I had to help him try to answer questions or interact vocally with his peers. Really great experience.
