How to support and teach children on the AUTISM SPECTRUM
Autism is a difference in thinking style. Children who have an autistic thinking style see the world in a different way from the majority of other children. This means that their behaviour sometimes seems odd and difficult to understand. It also means that they will learn about the world in a different way.
Children with this thinking style can be found throughout the educational system and in every type of school. Most schools will have at least one child on the autism spectrum, and large schools may have several children at any one time.
Children who have learning needs on the autism spectrum require an appropriate education that will help them understand and function effectively in the world in which we all live, that will encourage their need to engage and communicate with others, and that respects the culture in which they live. They may receive this education in mainstream or independent schools, in schools for gifted children or in the many other types of special school that exist.
Teachers, parents and all who work with children on the autism spectrum need strategies that will help them deliver this education and support their development. This book has been written to provide those working with these children with a range of strategies and activities to help them in their endeavour. All the strategies suggested have come out of real-life classroom practice with children on the autism spectrum.
