Everything you need to know to educate students with autism

Every 20 minutes, another child is diagnosed with autism. Are you ready to meet this growing educational challenge? This authoritative guide is for practitioners--early interventionists, teachers, school counselors, psychologists--who are committed to the education and dignity of students with autism in preschool and elementary grades. Each chapter focuses on a critical issue and offers solutions, including:

  • Designing instruction, intervention, and assessment
  • Including families in developing goals and interventions
  • Using students' special interests to deliver instruction
  • Understanding and preventing challenging behavior
  • Evaluating practices to promote successful outcomes for students, families and practitioners
