Practical Teaching Strategies for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Review of the Literature
Murray, Jannelle
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v7 n2 p68-75 2015
The number of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is rapidly increasing, and there is a struggle within our educational system to meet the needs of these students. While there is a growing awareness among general classroom teachers about strategies that can be implemented to ensure positive gains for students with ASD, there is still a need for continuous professional development in the area. This literature review addresses the various challenges that students with autism face in educational environments due to their disorder. It also suggests practical social, behavioural, and academic strategies that teachers can implement within their classrooms to improve the performance and educational experiences of students with ASD.
