Domain 1: Learning Environment 

Overview

The primary focus of this domain is on individualized instruction that meets each student's unique needs, creating a meaningful learning environment tailored for each learner. I have selected twelve artifacts, each representing a specific competency, to demonstrate my understanding of the core characteristics of individuals with ASD, the medical implications for learning, and the influence of theory of mind, central coherence, and executive function on both learning and behavior. These artifacts highlight my ability to design individualized, relevant, and effective learning experiences for individuals with ASD.

1.1 Knowledge of medical aspects & implications for learning

 I learned to deepen my understanding of how various medications used for individuals with ASD can impact both their cognitive and physical functioning, influencing learning and behavior. This insight has enhanced my awareness of how medications may affect attention, emotional regulation, and sensory processing, which are critical factors in designing effective, individualized learning plans that accommodate each student's unique needs.
