a.  Brainstorm participant’s ideas while reading out load the text on slide 28. Use the brainstorm and the text on the slide to provide feedback, to ask for questions, to promote connections between concepts and interactions between participants, to clarify alternative views and perceptions, to tie up loose ends, to correct misunderstandings, to improve metacognition, and to make sure their knowledge is solidified.

b.  Read out load the following text (present slide number 28):

  • Inclusion is a right and a responsibility;
  • Inclusion works to the benefit of all;
  • Terminology will continue to change;
  • Not every member of every group agrees with these terminology choices;
  • Officers who are aware of these issues and who exhibit thoughtfulness and sensitivity when referring to individuals with ASD can avoid offending students and their families.
