By leveraging local cultural strategies, knowledge management, and organizational intelligence, the research aims to transform tacit knowledge—common in languages with phonetic simplicity, such as Latin-based languages—into explicit knowledge, particularly in countries with law-based educational frameworks.<br> The study addresses key challenges in autism learning, including inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, anxiety, irritability, tantrums, defiance, and aggression. These difficulties are compounded by the widespread lack of recognition of the heterogeneity within the autism spectrum.</p> <p>Through interviews conducted in the selected countries, this research seeks to answer the following question: To what extent does the transformation of tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge impact autism literacy? The findings suggest that communities of practice play a crucial role in supporting pedagogical approaches, as many educators and caregivers feel overwhelmed and discouraged, often abandoning efforts due to a lack of understanding of literacy concepts, such as writing.</p> <p>Based on these insights, the study proposes the implementation of the phonemic method for literacy, along with a knowledge management portal that integrates learning resources, communities of practice, expert analyses, and semantic web technologies to enhance organizational intelligence in autism education.</p>2025-03-28T00:00:00+08:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://j.ideasspread.org/index.php/ier/article/view/633A Study on the Adaptation of Ideological and Political Education of College Students with Disabilities in Integrated Education2025-05-08T10:06:30+08:00Zhang Boyaier@ideasspread.orgTang Tianxiaoier@ideasspread.orgShi Yingxinier@ideasspread.org<p>Under the background of integrated education, the adaptability of ideological and political education for college students with disabilities has become an important issue in promoting educational equity and comprehensive development of individuals. Currently, college students with disabilities generally face difficulties in adaptation in cognitive, emotional, behavioral and psychological levels, and the traditional education model is difficult to meet their special needs. Based on the reality, the study analyzes the multi-dimensional impacts of education content, teacher strength, campus environment and social support on adaptability, and puts forward systematic countermeasures centered on personalized education methods, specialized teacher training, and inclusive culture construction, aiming to break through the existing educational barriers and promote the real “integration” of disabled college students in ideological and value shaping. The aim is to break through the existing educational barriers and promote the real “integration” of disabled college students in the ideological value shaping. The study provides theoretical references for optimizing the path of ideological and political education for special groups, and also injects new thoughts into the practice of educational equity.</p>2025-05-08T00:00:00+08:00##submission.copyrightStatement##
