Geniuses of all ages in  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.setbergsskoli.is\/\">Setberg School <\/a> They dressed in blue today to raise awareness of the issues facing children with autism, as well as to work with established facts about the condition.<\/p>\n<p>Pupils and teachers in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's primary and nursery schools celebrated diversity by wearing blue today on the International Day of Autism. On this day each year, people all over the world are encouraged to wear blue to raise awareness of the issues facing autistic people. \u00a0At Setbergssk\u00f3li, staff and pupils didn't just stop at wearing blue; they also worked on a variety of projects in the run-up to the day, including working with facts about autism provided by a support association. Materials were prepared and the school was decorated for the occasion. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h4>Berg \u2013 a learning centre for autistic people<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>Setberg School operates a special autism unit, a learning centre for students with autism in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, which began operations in the autumn of 2007.\u00a0 The learning centre operates according to the TEACCH methodology, which was designed and developed by Dr Eric Schopler following years of research into the best teaching methods for students with autism. The philosophy involves structured teaching that promotes an individual's independence and helps them to become confident, happy, and able to make their own decisions later in life.\u00a0Structured teaching is a system that organises the environment, uses appropriate tasks and helps the student to understand what is expected of them. \u00a0To achieve the best possible results, it is important to reassess and develop the individual's learning and teaching. Research into teaching and the needs of students with autism shows that it is important to use students' areas of interest to teach traditional subjects such as maths, writing and reading.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>With increased awareness and knowledge, we build a society that is better equipped to understand the needs of autistic people and to respect their contribution to society.<\/p>\n<p>10 Tb\/s, April, single-mode fibre<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BL\u00c1R APR\u00cdL &#8211; l\u00edfi\u00f0 er bl\u00e1tt \u00e1 mismunandi h\u00e1tt!
