70 Tips & Tricks for Educating Students with Aspergers/High-Functioning Autism
Research has identified classroom
characteristics that promote success for children with Aspergers
and High-Functioning Autism: individualized instruction,
interesting curriculum, positive reinforcement, predictability,
short working periods, small teacher-to-student ratio, and plenty
of structure.
Research has also identified optimal
teacher characteristics: consistency, firmness, frequent monitoring
of the child’s work, humor, knowledge of behavior
management strategies for students on the spectrum, patience,
personal warmth, and positive academic expectations.
