GPS – Gruppesamarbejde, Problemløsning, Social leg er udformet til at hjælpe dig som lærer og pædagog til bedre at forstå, hvordan børn med forskellige niveauer af social kompetence kan deltage i social leg – og til at bruge den viden til at lære børnene at bruge de centrale begreber i Social Tænkning: Gruppesamarbejde, Problemløsning og Social leg. GPS-bogen vil lære dig:Hvorfor social leg med jævnaldrende er så afgørende for børns udvikling, både følelsesmæssigt, socialt og fagligt. Hvorfor der er behov for en legeskala, som kan vise forskellene på børns evner til at lege med deres jævnaldrende.At forstå GPS-legeskalaens fem niveauer og fastslå et barns legeniveau ved hjælp af GPS-observationsredskaberne. Hvordan du kan strukturere barnets social læring og vælge de af GPS-bogens Differentierede Interaktive Legeaktiviteter, der bedst passer til barnets nuværende niveau. GPS’en er den sidste brik i Vi Tænker!-serien. Bogens materialer bør bruges parallelt med Lærebog for sociale problemløsere for bedst muligt at understøtte børnenes sociale læring. Yderligere baggrund: At lege med andre børn er en vigtig men som regel underforstået del af barndommen – for hvor ofte standser vi egentligt op og tænker over selve legeoplevelsen? Social leg er nemlig alt andet end simpelt. For børn, der er udfordret på det sociale og følelsesmæssige område, er det langt fra altid sjovt at lege med andre. Desuden er social eller interaktiv leg et temmelig vidt begreb. Nogle børn leger kun med voksne. Andre prøver at lege med deres jævnaldrende men har svært ved at få legen til at lykkes. Andre igen får det hele til at virke, ja, legende let. Og leg er ikke bare leg. Samarbejdsbaseret leg er den primære måde, børn lærer at deltage i alle former for fælles aktiviteter på. Leg med jævnaldrende bidrager til deres sproglige udvikling, lærer dem at tænke abstrakt, se ting fra andres perspektiv, forstå sociale konventioner og samarbejde om et fælles mål.

Julia sparkede til døren og mødte blikket fra Mike, hendes matematiklærer. Han var stoppet op og havde lagt en hånd på hendes skulder. Julia trådte straks et skridt tilbage for at få hånden væk. Mike lagde hovedet på skrå. Julia kunne mærke det. Hun vidste det, og hun så det, selvom hun ikke kiggede på ham. Hun havde prøvet det før. Men der var ingen, der kunne forstå det, ingen der kunne forstå hende. Første skoledag i 7. klasse. Julia og hendes klassekammerater Lisa og Alice har fået ny lærer. Desuden er pigerne i 7.C allerede begyndt med deres blikke og hvisken. Skolestart er ikke, som Julia håbede, men med hjælp fra en forstående far, erfarne lærere og en støttende vejleder vender det. Julia og skolen har indset, at Julia er i besiddelse af nogle helt særlige superkræfter. Julias superkræfter er en bog om asperger, og den kan forhåbentlig støtte forældre og deres børn samt personalet på skoler.

"This book is a message from autistic people to their parents, friends, teachers, coworkers and doctors showing what life is like on the spectrum. It's also my love letter to autistic people. For too long, we have been forced to navigate a world where all the road signs are written in another language."With a reporter's eye and an insider's perspective, Eric Garcia shows what it's like to be autistic across America.Garcia began writing about autism because he was frustrated by the media's coverage of it: the myths that the disorder is caused by vaccines, the narrow portrayals of autistic people as white men working in Silicon Valley. His own life as an autistic person didn't look anything like that. He is Latino, a graduate of the University of North Carolina, and works as a journalist covering politics in Washington, DC. Garcia realized he needed to put into writing what so many autistic people have been saying for years-autism is a part of their identity, they don't need to be fixed. In We're Not Broken, Garcia uses his own life as a springboard to discuss the social and policy gaps that exist in supporting those on the spectrum. From education to healthcare, he explores how autistic people wrestle with systems that were not built with them in mind. At the same time, he shares the experiences of all types of autistic people, from those with higher support needs, to autistic people of color, to those in the LGBTQ community. In doing so, Garcia gives his community a platform to articulate their own needs, rather than having others speak for them, which has been the standard for far too long

Clinicians and academics have been attempting to understand the college experience of students living with Asperger's Disorder. Absent in this pursuit are the direct opinions and perspectives from the students themselves. This study captured the personal accounts of the beginning college experience for students living with Asperger's Disorder who were participating in a specialized academic and social support program. In an effort to frame this study, college student development theories, critical disability theory, and the medical diagnostic understanding of Asperger's Disorder are discussed. A qualitative research design incorporating interview methodology was utilized. Four students participated in one or two interviews where they were asked questions that pertained to their academic and social college experiences in relation to the specialized support program and pursuits outside of the program. I hope that the outcomes of this study will contribute to the literature about college students living with Asperger's Disorder, and advance the discourse regarding college student development theory in regard to individuals with developmental disabilities. In addition, it is my expectation to inform higher education practice as student affairs personnel plan for the growing numbers of students on their campuses living with Asperger's Disorder.
