A MUM hopes that her autistic son’s education will get back on track after she claims he was “bullied” at his secondary school.
Joanne Robson’s son Liam, 11, started at Kepier, in Houghton, last month.
However, Mrs Robson, 39, wants her son to go to a special school which would suit his needs, with an assessment whether he can be moved due to take place next week.
She claims Year 7 pupil Liam has faced abuse from other pupils at Kepier, including being punched, kicked and shoved as well as being called names.
After the half-term break, Liam is set to go to Kepier for two-and-a-half days each week, while he will spend the rest of the week at Barbara Priestman Academy, in Meadowside, which caters for pupils with disabilities and learning difficulties.
Liam and his mum will have a meeting with education bosses to see if he can be given a statement, meaning that he needs to be taught at a special school.

Recently, my autistic adult son was admitted to the Institute of
Mental Health with help from officers at the Neighbourhood Police Post
near my home at Marine Crescent, and I am grateful to them.
My husband, a cabby, was taking him, two children and one of their maids home, and my son kept wanting to open the rear passenger doors.
The maid helped manage the situation, but my husband could
not then send them home, as it would be too risky to manage my son
without someone else in the vehicle.

Autistic Like Me (ALM) explores the unbridled and unfiltered
emotions that fathers experience while raising their autistic children.
It also shows the world that autism transcends race, ethnicity, social
class, economics, and religion.
The making of ALM has been a labor of love for Charles “CJ” Jones.
His only son Malik was diagnosed with autism when he was two and a half
years old. Parenting Malik, who is now 10, has been a journey for
Charles. It was intriguing to listen to Charles explain the therapeutic
process he went through as he made this documentary. He remembers the
days when he felt the urge to explain Malik’s diagnosis and behavior out
of shame and embarrassment. Those emotions are now replaced with pride,
understanding, and the need to plug in with his son to learn more about
him.

Josh Padilla wears No. 71 on game days. He is listed as a senior
kicker on Leyden’s roster. He is a team captain and walks to midfield
for the pregame coin toss.
Then he’s done for the day. A player who doesn’t play. A kicker who doesn’t kick. A guy on the sidelines.
The guy with autism.
But Friday night, Josh became the guy with autism who scored a touchdown on senior night. On a set play after the opening kickoff, Josh took a shuttle pass from quarterback Tom Pajor and ran 66 yards to the end zone.

Apps for autism have garnered a fantastic response from thousands – possibly millions – of parents, teachers and therapists from all over the world. A majority of these apps are easy to use and capable of teaching various life-skills in an interactive manner. With an increasing number of autism diagnoses and lack of resources to provide quality one-on-one support, it makes sense to utilize mobile technology that lets you create child/student profiles for easy and effective data management at home and in the classroom. Quite often, toddlers with autism require a special medium of learning and education, in order to fully grasp what is taught to them.
Now the million dollar question is: which apps for autism are effective and reliable? How would you separate the wheat from the chaff and get only the best apps available on the market? The answer is simple. Look for features such as
- pleasing UI,
- highly interactive environment and
- option to sign up.
Somerset, NJ-based app development firm WebTeam Corporation has a large number of autism apps that cover both basic and advanced learning domains. For the past eight years, WebTeam has been doing their bit to help people with learning shortcomings. They have designed and developed many wonderfully interactive iOS and Android apps for autism. These apps, geared towards education and training, fit the bill pretty well. They can be used to improve a variety of skills – whether in terms of behavior, communication, socializing or academics. WebTeam has accomplished extraordinary download counts on the App Store, sustaining the conviction of those parenting and teaching kids and adults on the autism spectrum.
Recently the company has launched a new app called “Count It Easy” to aid children in grooming their rote counting skills. To describe in brief, the app shows different animals and in a single play session, the child is asked to count one category of animal(s) only. The app is also incorporated with a timer to set the intended pace for students. So get your toddler learn elementary counting skills with “Count It Easy” and lay a solid foundation for them to grasp more complex mathematical concepts later. Visit App Store and see for yourself.
