I thought this video had very good information to help notice different signs lacking social skills. I agree also that it would be more helpful with pictures to demonstrate what she is talking about.

Very informative, I believe that through observation you can learn so much. I certainly agree that pictures would have been helpful, but the information was great!

I would like to agree with samantha that it is most important to be aware of the child as a teacher and continuously observe and make notes as a teacher for any red flags. As a parent they should know their child the best and be observent of such behavior.

I found the video to be very informative althought I do wish there were images to provide demonstration and clarification. It is important for an educator to understand why a student is having problems in the class in order to aid that student in overcoming their obstacles. My question is once you determine that a student might have a form of autism, how do you inform the parent? What is the next step?

I agree with everyone, some demonstrative pictures would have been helpful. Nevertheless, the clip provides a neat checklist of active signs to look for in your child at different points in their development. Such information could be crucial for early intervention, which is key for Autism treatment. If I were a parent I would definitely watch for these tell-tale signs.

I agree with Ashley. While this was a very informative video clip, I would have liked to have seen visual examples of what I was reading about.

This video was very informative. Always knowing what to look for while attending a child is important because you dont want to miss something that could be helpful to tell someone such as a doctor. However, i do wish more visuals were shown to document what was being talked about.

I thought that the video gave some good tips as to what to look for, and it could help anybody across the board see the signs and symptoms of Autsim. The key though for parents and caregivers is that they observe and watch their child carefully so they are aware of all these types of symptoms and warning signs.

The video gives good tips or symptoms that would help a teacher or caregiver in the classroom. It is always very important to observe the children and look for behaviors that may be related to some defficiency or disability. Those observations may be very helpfull to the person or persons conducting evaluations on a child with or without disabilities.

Knowing your children is key and this video is very helpful for all teachers who have those “red flags” throughout their classrooms.

HAS A LOT OF INFORMATION WITH GREAT EXAMPLES BUT I THINK THAT EVEN IF WE POINT THINGS OUT FOR A DOCTOR IT WILL BE DEPICTED SOONER BUT THERE ARE SOME DISASES THAT HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND THAT CAN CREATE A MISLEAD DIAGNOSIS. SO I STILL THINK THAT A CHILD SHOULD GO THROUGHLY TO ALL PROCEDURES ADEQUATE WITH WHAT THE CHILD IS HAVING.

there are some great info tips here and i beleive one shoul always be fully aware of the symptoms, and things to out for in a child. Oneself could be of great help by being able to point out the situation to a Dr. this way the diagnosis can be depicted sooner.
