Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I was wondering if most of you are in favor of grouping autistic students in a self-contained classroom heterogenously (3 verbal, higher- functioning and 3 early learners who may be nonverbal, possibly not toilet-trained with behaviors. Does anyone know if there are articles or studies to support the fact that the early learners who may be nonverbal learn from their peer models in a self-contained setting? Thanks, Ali ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I am not in favor in grouping ANY group of developmentally delayed children in a contained classroom, as it does not benefit anyone. As children do quite often learn by imitation, grouping autistic students with their same aged, non-disabled peers, would produce benefits more quickly and efficiently. >From: allie mcveigh <alliemcv@...> > >Subject: [ ] grouping students >Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 15:13:22 -0800 (PST) > >I was wondering if most of you are in favor of >grouping autistic students in a self-contained >classroom heterogenously (3 verbal, higher- >functioning and 3 early learners who may be nonverbal, >possibly not toilet-trained with behaviors.
