One in every 59 children has an autism diagnosis. Once thought rare, now every teacher is going to have an autistic child in their classroom. Not last year, however this coming year...
Our rooms are full of diverse students. Sadly, most university programs do not prepare teachers with this fact. Together with those bright small faces looking at youpersonally, the demands may appear overwhelming. How can you be all to every one?
This publication is for you. You can do this.
By learning about autism and the features that affect being in a classroom, you are able to tailor strategies that can help that learner, you and the other kids who are on your care. You can't turn your room upside down for one child but you can use strategies that are doable and will help many of the learners.
