In this assessment, I will reflect on the learning materials covered in weeks 1-4; researching, using and evaluating online sources. I will bring together the key things I have learnt during this unit thus far, such as how to ensure the information I am getting is accurate and reliable. My topic of choice is the association between immunisations and autism. I built my knowledge by actively researching the informational and social media websites listed below: Informational websites: http://raisingchildren.net.au/articles/autism_spectrum_disorder_and_vaccinations.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy Social Media websites: http://www.babycenter.com/0_vaccines-and-autism-separating-fact-from-fiction_1470554.bc https://www.facebook.com/vaccinationinformationnetwork From researching the websites listed above, I have learnt that there are several conflicting theories about the association between immunisations and autism. Advocacy groups say that a preservative used in vaccines is responsible for the rising rates of autism among children.

Stephen Freeman English 135 Professor McCarthy 2/16/14 Education Reform and the Effects on Special Education Education reform has caused much controversy in recent years especially in special education. It is often asked if special education will be able to keep up with the strict demands of the newest form of education reform. Special Education was created to give those individuals with an intellectual and/or physical disability a free and proper education just like those without any intellectual impairment.
