Synopsis
Finally education professionals have a strategy-filled guidebook for including students with autism in primary and secondary school classrooms. Alive with first-person accounts that give readers insight into the experience of having autism, this book shows educators how to adapt their own classrooms to support student participation. Paula Kluth combines relevant research with lessons learned from her teaching experience to give readers specific, creative ideas for connecting and collaborating with families; enhancing literacy; planning challenging, multidimensional lessons; supporting behavior in sensitive, positive ways; fostering friendships; and adapting the physical environment. Fascinating and practical, this book gives educators new ways to understand students with autism--and help them participate in every aspect of classroom life.
