First let’s take a few minutes to understand what HFA and AS are
![Page 3: Programming for Students with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) in the General Education Setting Presented by: Pam Leonard & Sabrina.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e985503460f94b9b844/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

What are HFA and AS ?
![Page 4: Programming for Students with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) in the General Education Setting Presented by: Pam Leonard & Sabrina.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e985503460f94b9b844/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

![Page 5: Programming for Students with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) in the General Education Setting Presented by: Pam Leonard & Sabrina.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e985503460f94b9b844/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
THEORY OF MIND
We’ve looked at the DSM-IV, but let’s think about one more thing
![Page 6: Programming for Students with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) in the General Education Setting Presented by: Pam Leonard & Sabrina.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e985503460f94b9b844/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“the ability to infer other people’s mental states (their thoughts, beliefs, desires, intentions, etc.), & the ability to use this information to interpret what they say, make sense of their behavior & predict what they will do next.” (Howlin, Baron-Cohen, and Hadwin, 1999)
Theory of Mind
![Page 7: Programming for Students with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) in the General Education Setting Presented by: Pam Leonard & Sabrina.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e985503460f94b9b844/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Theory of mind test Sally&Anne False Belief Test
False Belief Test:1. Sally hides an object and then leaves
the room. Anne moves the object.2. Sally returns and the child with AS is
asked, “Where will Sally look for the object?”
3. This requires thinking about others’ thoughts & understanding that others can believe something that is contradictory to reality.
![Page 8: Programming for Students with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) in the General Education Setting Presented by: Pam Leonard & Sabrina.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e985503460f94b9b844/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sally and Anne cont…NT child: points to the spot where
Sally originally placed the objectChild with AS: Unable to inhibit the
knowledge that Anne has moved the object without Sally’s knowledge, s/he points to the spot where Anne has moved the object
This perspective taking ability develops between 3-41/2 years of age in NT children
![Page 9: Programming for Students with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) in the General Education Setting Presented by: Pam Leonard & Sabrina.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e985503460f94b9b844/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
And so we will operate from the fact that …….HFA/AS are neurological disorders and
thus….
We need to accept that these students think differently than most of us because their brains are structured differently
![Page 10: Programming for Students with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) in the General Education Setting Presented by: Pam Leonard & Sabrina.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e985503460f94b9b844/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
And that these are students whoHave strong cognitive skills
Are able to access the general ed curriculum
Are able with instruction can learn to take the perspective of others
![Page 11: Programming for Students with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) in the General Education Setting Presented by: Pam Leonard & Sabrina.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e985503460f94b9b844/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Some closing thoughtsStudents with autism think
differently than the “typical” student
The key to our success in working with students with autism is in presenting information in a manner that makes sense to them
Remember- they want to be effective communicators and problem solvers but they simply don’t always know how.
