~~ A diagnosis of autism still comes too late for most children.
Despite most parent's concern for their child starting at around 18
months and good established diagnosis techniques available for children
at 24 months, most kids are not diagnosed with autism until between
the ages of 3 and 4. This is primarily because parents tend to use pediatricians
as their first point of inquiry and they, as a group, are ill prepared
for early detection. Elmensdorp, S. "Identification of Autism-Specific
Impairments Through Behavioral Observation." Presented at APA National
Conference, Boston, MA Aug. 16, 2008..

"I
need a simple way to differentiate instruction"
Most of the research from neurology, psychology and education is suggesting
that teachers (at all grade levels) implement more student-centered,
differentiated instructional models.
Based on current brain-imaging information, Layered Curriculum®
is an exciting and effective student-centered teaching method. The 3
layer model encourages complex thinking and holds students highly accountable
for their learning.
