Overview

This guide provides a range of successful teaching strategies for use with students with autism spectrum disorders and associated behavioural difficulties. The author outlines a range of cost- and time-effective methods that enable teachers to promote inclusion, improve communication in the classroom, and celebrate achievement with rewards. Suitable for use in pre-school, primary and secondary mainstream classes, these techniques also emphasize the need for a consistent working approach both at school and at home.

Synopsis

This practical guide identifies the meaning of different behaviors exhibited by students with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), and suggests strategies for helping them achieve independence in mainstream schools. The author examines difficulties pupils with ASD have in particular subjects, and discusses the importance of familiarization, physical positioning, visual timetables, work materials, and friendship skills.
