My name is Olivia Buk. I am working on a double major in early childhood development and Instructional technology. I am currently an assistant special education preschool teacher. I love everything about my career path. I can't wait to see where my career will take me!

Tuition costs in Michigan

It is always interesting when comparing college cost because they are always on the rise. The prices can change year to year and they are only going up!

We are going to compare sixteen 4-year universities in Michigan. The total cost of a year in college can range from $15,419.36 to $25,204.00 in 2017.

The University of Michigan -Dearborn cost is lowest in-state cost with your total cost being $15,419.36. The room and board are the lowest at U-M Dearborn, at $1,600.00! However, if you want to live in Ann Arbor you are going to pay the most at $9,468.00.

The cost of college can be very overwhelming, but don’t be scared of student debt. There are many ways that can cut the cost. There are scholarships, grants, and final aid is available for those students who qualify. I currently do not pay for room and board. I commute to and from school, so that also saves me money. Don’t be afraid of students debt. You can’t put a price tag on education!

Calling all Special needs teachers!

If you are a special education teacher you need to read this blog. This is my first time reading a blog o writing blogs.

There are many great tips, crafts, and ideas for teachers to look up too for support. It gives me the extra support and lets me know that I am not the only crazy one in the world to teach in a special needs preschool. Many say I am crazy for my career choice, but I love every second of it!

What is Autism?

Autism 

Always Unique Totally Interesting Sometimes Mysterious

What is Autism?

A serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact.

  • About 1 in 68 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network.

ASD is about 4.5 times more common among boys (1 in 42) than among girls (1 in 189).

Risk Factors
  • Children born to older parents are at higher risk for having ASD.
  • A small percentage of children who are born prematurely or with low birth weight are at greater risk for having ASD.
Diagnosis
  • The Cause of this disorder is a mystery!
  • A child can be diagnosed at the age of 2, but in most children are not diagnosed with ASD until after age 4.
  • There is NO CURE! Some forms of intervention like Applied Behavior Analysis.
Overview

Autism is near and dear to my heart. It affects my life/heart every day of my life. Awareness is the number one cure for this disorder. With that being said I want you to educate yourself and be the voice for Autism!  What do you think the cause of Autism is? Poll here-
