WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT
We all have different
skills that we are good
at, and other things that
are difficult for us.

SPECIAL NEEDS
People who have special
needs have challenges that
are extra-difficult for them.
![Page 7: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SPECIAL NEEDS
Let’s take a look
at a few types
of special needs
and the
challenges they
present:
![Page 8: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

AUTISM
-affects the way the brain
works and how we react to
the world around us
![Page 15: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Today, we are going to take
a closer look at AUTISM.
![Page 16: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
People with AUTISM are NOT
stupid, deaf, or wrong. They
are just different in some
ways.
![Page 17: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Some of the things that are
easy for you-like talking,
learning, playing…
![Page 18: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
…and making friends, may
be very hard for some
people with
AUTISM……………
![Page 19: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
…and may be scary or
upsetting. One thing that
sometimes makes me
feel scared is …
![Page 20: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
People act differently when
they are upset. Some may
cry, get mad, and yell.
![Page 21: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Others like to be quiet
and alone. When I’m
upset I usually ...
![Page 22: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Can you name the 5 senses.
![Page 23: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Some people with AUTISM
feel their senses very,
very strongly…
![Page 24: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
…and all the
information they
receive from their
senses can be very
overwhelming and
distracting.
![Page 25: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Everyone settle and listen
to the soft, background
noises in your classroom.
![Page 26: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Write down 1 noise that
you can still hear.
![Page 27: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Now, imagine that
all the background noises
in your classroom are as
loud as the noises in the
cafeteria or gym…
![Page 28: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
…and you are trying to
complete a reading
assignment. Would the
reading assignment be
hard or easy for you to
complete?
![Page 29: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How would that make you
feel?
![Page 30: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
That’s how it is all the time
for some people with
AUTISM.
![Page 31: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Some people with AUTISM
have lots and lots of sights,
sounds, smells, tastes, and
touches that bother them
all the time.
![Page 32: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How would you feel if
someone shined a
flashlight in your eyes?
![Page 33: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Name 1 noise
that makes
you want to
cover your
ears.
![Page 34: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What is your
least favorite
smell?
![Page 35: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Sometimes things are
too hot, too cold, too
sharp, too slimy, or
too rough to touch.
What is something
you don’t like to
touch?
![Page 36: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What food do
you never,
ever want too
eat?
![Page 37: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Now, imagine all those
things you just thought
about occurred all day long.
How would
you feel?
![Page 38: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Can you understand why
some people with AUTISM
seem upset, frustrated, or
overwhelmed at times?
![Page 39: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Some people with AUTISM
may notice many, many
details; and may not like
clutter.
![Page 40: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Now imagine
that you
studied for a
reading test
last night…
![Page 41: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
…and your teacher gave
you the test today but it
was written in German.
![Page 42: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
How would
you feel when
you tried to
take the test?
![Page 43: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How do you
think you
would do on
that test?
![Page 44: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Some people with AUTISM
become upset or nervous
when things change or
surprise them…
![Page 45: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
…sometimes they
will try to make
themselves feel
better by thinking
of something else,
or maybe even
somewhere else...
![Page 46: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
…other times they may
stim to feel more secure.
Stimming is repeated
movements, usually with
the hand(s).
![Page 47: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Some people with AUTISM are
extremely uncomfortable with the
unexpected. Following a routine
schedule helps them
feel more comfortable.
![Page 48: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Think about a
time when your
mom or dad
wasn’t able to
tuck you in at
night…
![Page 49: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
…or when the fire
alarm first goes
off, or even when
it is announced at
the end of the day
that there is a
change in your
bus number?
![Page 50: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
How do you feel when this
happens? Some people with
AUTISM feel this anxiety
with the slightest of
change in their daily life.
![Page 51: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Some people
with AUTISM
play games
differently than
you.
![Page 52: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
How do you feel when your
friends play a game you
don’t like or aren’t good at?
![Page 53: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Some people with
AUTISM do not talk.
Other times, they
may just repeat what
you say instead of
answering you.
![Page 54: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Now, let’s imagine that you
are really, really sick but
you aren’t able to tell your
mom.
![Page 55: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
…what would
you do or how
would that
make you
feel?
![Page 56: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Some people
with AUTISM
may not
understand
the way you
use certain
words.
![Page 57: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
They may think
the words or
expressions you
use, mean
exactly the way
they sound.
![Page 58: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
For example “that’s cool”…
![Page 59: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
…“can you
lend me a
hand?...”
![Page 60: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
“… or “what’s up?”.
![Page 61: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Think about how we rely so
much on facial expressions
—
![Page 62: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
…your
teacher’s
glare when
she’s upset
with the
class…
![Page 63: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
that “look” your mom gives
you when you are not
behaving at church or at
the grocery store…
![Page 64: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
…or just a
simple
smile.
![Page 65: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
How would you feel if you
could not see or
understand a simple smile?
![Page 66: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Some people with
AUTISM may not
understand facial
expressions, and
may not react to
your
conversation as
you may expect.
![Page 67: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
You may think
they are not
listening or
not interested
in what you
are saying.
![Page 68: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Things to remember…
![Page 69: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
and…
![Page 70: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
and…
![Page 71: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
and…
![Page 72: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
and…
![Page 73: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
and…
Today, 1 in
68
children
have
Autism
according
to the
CDC.
![Page 74: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Today, I hope you
have learned that
people with
AUTISM
are very
interesting and
they are very
brave to try hard
to do things we
take for
granted…
![Page 75: SPECIAL NEEDS ACCEPTANCE MaryAnne Sullivan-Scott](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649c905503460f9494a2d5/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
…and it’s very important to remember…
