Description
Summary:Related to this is our learning about the way the brain operates: the Triune Brain with the upper cortex (the "thinking" brain), the middle limbic system (the social processing brain that activates when we feel stress), and the lower reptilian brain that monitors and sustains our biological functions (the autonomic brain) (Maclean. 1990). Going back to the lower brain and right/left hemispheres, a growing body of literature in the neurosciences suggests that the brains of individuals with autism often do not "work together" and that some areas of the brain are overconnected - meaning that their brain systems are overly active - and that other areas of the brain are underconnected and not working together to support attention, regulation, and engagement (e.g., Khan et al., 2015: [...]as Siegel and Hartzell (2014) suggest for parenting, teach with the "brain in mind"! 2.CO-REGULATE The second lesson is that children with autism have differences in brain systems that first and foremost can make it difficult for them to be calm and alert-those necessary developmental capacities for learning. Gerard Costa served as the founding director of the Center for Autism and Early Childhood Mental and a Professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning at Montclair State University.
