This long weekend, I began looking for holes in my research. I found that most of my research focused on the nature of Autism, like its symptoms, personal accounts, and its historical context. Making a topic outline allowed me to recognize my lack of information about treatment, public ignorance, and government aid.
I came across some information about IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) of1975. It has made high school graduate rates double in the last few decades, to give an example of its success. I also learned that ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis, which according to Autism Speaks is "a scientific approach to understanding behavior and how it is affected by environment."
I hope to begin writing today or tomorrow... keep checking the blog for progress! Again, hope all is well with everyone's Junior Theme.
