Are you looking for caring and creative ways to support students on the autistic spectrum?

Helping Pupils with Autistic Spectrum Disorders to Learn provides guidelines to help educators structure the classroom environment, understand and improve behavior, and look at transition through the eyes of students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

'The reader can gain a good overall understanding of autism and the issues which arise in teaching and learning across the spectrum but can also focus on and apply sections of the book which are specific to his or her own situation. I feel that this book is relevant to all school staff involved in educational planning for children who have autistic spectrum disorders' - REACH


I have recommended this book to all learners who have an interest or who are supporting children in school who are on the autistic spectrum. I plan to use it myself as I am about to embark on a level 2 qualification in autistic spectrun disorders.
