Ever
wonder how young children with autism develop play and social interaction
skills? Play is a way for children to interact with the world around them. This
happens through a combination of experiences and interactions supported by toys
and places in their life. From my article I've learned with people with ASD
have a shortage in developing maintaining, and understanding relationships,
have a restricted range of interests that may be abnormal or unconventional and
experience limited receptive and expressive communication skills. Children with
disabilities are more involved with peers when there are no toys present.
According to Piaget identity comes from play as the child increases social
norms with others and when others help individual development is enhanced. When
a child gets involved in play activities with another child that child expands
their range of emotion and improve both social and communication skills. With
the skills and improvement on social and communication with children with ASD
it could be possible to recognize the great value this device on their lives.

ReplyDeleteThese are some interesting facts that I was never aware of when it came to children with ASD. I especially like the fact that children with ASD get to be involved with peers when they are not playing with their toys, it gives them the advantage of gaining social skills that can help them out in the future.
ReplyDeleteI believe that it is a good thing that kids interact with other kids because it helps them develop social skills. It is surprising that kids with disabilities are more involved with other kids when they have no toys. This shows how they are much more social than "normal" kids.
