Mom’s Courage Brings Better Life for Son with Asperger Syndrome. Leads to New Product with Way to Grow: The Kids Need to Know: Asperger Syndrome

Frederick, MD (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

Originally developed by Ruth Bielobocky, this power point presentation was used as a tool to tell her sons 6th grade classroom about Asperger Syndrome. Following the success he experienced after using the presentation, she worked with Barbara Luborsky, OTR/L, a pediatric occupational therapist and founder of Way to Grow, to write and edit the script and the Parent Guide, and document validating research to support this approach.

Students with disabilities are often the targets of bullies. Research shows that children with Asperger Syndrome are actually targeted by bullies at a rate that is four times higher than their typical peers. Watching their child suffer social isolation or be a target of bullies can lead parents to consider sharing information about their childs diagnosis with his classmates.

Research also shows that telling peers can improve the social climate of the classroom for kids with special needs as long as classmates are also given information about dealing with affected peers. Clear and concise information is critical, but it is also important to allow time for kids to problem solve and plan how to improve social interactions when their classmate acts out or behaves oddly.
