Due to a trend toward inclusion, increased incidence, and increased and broadening diagnosis, many teachers can expect to eventually teach a child with an autism spectrum disorder. Children with ASD can be challenging to teach especially in a busy, noisy, elementary classroom. The very nature of their problems causes them to struggle with communication and socialization affecting all aspects of their lives. This book helps guide teachers through all steps of introducing a student with ASD into their classrooms, participating on an IEP team, developing a welcoming classroom, fostering social development and communication, plus moving forward into the curriculum. A special section for parents is also included.
