• Disorder name and summary of      the main characteristics 
• Explanation of what children go      through 
• Strategies to help support      children in the classroom 
• Idea or best practice for      supporting families, 
• Include a resource that you      could share with families that explains more about the disorder.   

Your original response should be a minimum of 300 words and include support from the textbook and one outside source that you could share with families.  Be sure to include a reference at the end of your fact sheet in APA format.
 

Guided Response: After reading several classmates’ posts, provide a minimum of a 100 word response to at least two classmates who have chosen different disorders from the one you chose.  In your response, please share your thoughts on how to support children with these disorders in your future professional role.
