How might instruction be designed so that some of the behavior trap characteristics of autism spectrum disorder become strengths for the child as a learner? Include an explanation and an example of a behavior trap.

Answer should contain an explanation of a behavior trap that is found on pages 226-228 of the textbook. An example is as follows: Jordan is a third grader who does not complete classwork (typical of a child with ASD). Jordan's teacher capitalizes on his interest in (perhaps obsession with) stickers. She uses them as the basis for getting him to do math (adding, subtracting, and grouping them), science (categorizing the animals), social studies (having him explain culturally significant or specific stickers), and language arts

Often, elementary students are enrolled in a general social studies class that addresses may different disciplines, including history and geography as well as perhaps economics, government, and human behavior. Perhaps the best general strategy for teaching a social studies course, especially one that includes content from a number of different disciplines, is to:

a. consistently emphasize common ideas such as globalization and interdependence. b. use primarily interactive lessons that involve role-playing life in different contexts. c. have students work in groups, to highlight the interdependent and "social" nature of "social studies." d. avoid discussion of stereotypes or injustices toward particular cultural groups until students are in adolescence.
