Integration in education has brought students with learning disabilities into the forefront of everyday teaching in Hungary. Among many types of disadvantaged students, for example, those with ADHD, ODD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, social, economic and linguistic disadvantages, there are also those who suffer from ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). This paper uses research from many papers, including those from Peter Moran of the British Council and Jennifer Reppond, to discover basic principles in how to deal with and teach this type of student in the foreign language classroom. It then moves on to show how these principles helped to create awareness of the problems involved and give some workable practices within the classroom to make an acceptable learning environment for one particular student with ASD.

Severity Of Disability

Students who are Deaf with Disabilities (DWD) comprise an extremely heterogeneous population. Similar to students who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), students who are DWD vary in terms of degree, type, and age at onset of hearing loss, amplification, and preferred communication method. However, students who are DWD are also diverse in terms of type, etiology, and number and severity of disability(ies). Presented in this article is an overview of DWD followed by foci on Deaf with learning disabilities, Deaf with intellectual disabilities, Deaf with autism spectrum disorder, and deafblindness. Particular attention is given to communication, language, and literacy development.

The Face

In this study, children with learning disability (LD) were compared with children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD) in terms of identifying emotions from photographs with certain face and body expressions. The sampleconsisted of a total of 82 children aged 7-19 years living in Izmir in Turkey. A total of 6 separate sets of slides,consisting of black and white photographs, were used to assess participants’ ability to identify feelings – 3 sets forfacial expressions, and 3 sets for body language. There were 20 photographs on the face slides and 38 photographson the body language slides. The results of the nonparametric Mann Whitney-U test showed no significant differencebetween the total scores that children received from each of the face and body language slide sets. It was observedthat the children with LD usually looked at the whole photo, while the children with ASD focused especially aroundthe mouth to describe feelings. The results that were obtained were discussed in the context of the literature, andsuggestions were presented.
