Expressing Myself Through SoundDeveloped for Early Childhood with ASD in Wake County March 17th & 24th, 2016April 7th,14th,21st, 2016
BACKGROUND▪ Autism affects 1 in 68 children in the U.S. (nationally), and 1 in 58 in North
Carolina (Local) which is the fastest growing developmental disorders and costs a family average of $60,000 annually. There is no known medical detection or cure for autism. (2016 Autism Speaks Inc.)
▪ Many children who are living with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) need services and support as they grow into adolescence and adulthood. According to CDC, report on Autism the hispanic children are less likely to be identified with “ASD” than caucasian or African American children. (CDC,2016)
▪ The rising prevalence rate is reflected in the number of clinical visits and patients being seen. ASD is diagnosed when an individual has problems with social communication and repetitive behaviors. (CDC, 2016)
PURPOSE
▪ The purpose of this project is to address sensory integration at the Frankie Lemmon School & Developmental Center with children ages three to five with (ASD) autism to contribute to better quality of life.
OBJECTIVESBy the end of the project, 80% of the participants/ student group will demonstrate improved sensorimotor skills by:
▪ 70% of the participants will demonstrate tactile tolerance by holding the recorder bilaterally
▪ 65% of the participants will demonstrate oral tolerance being able to place recorder in mouth
▪ 50% of the participants will demonstrate breath control by producing a sound
▪ 40% of the participants will be able to sustain a note
OUTCOMES
Short Terms: (Learning)● Learning● Perceptions● Awareness● Skills
Medium Term: (Change in Behavior)● Task Organization● Train the ASD system● Organize breath control
Long Term: (Change in Health)● Reduction of stress● Stabilization● Coordination● Flexibility
