Excellent resource for creating autism programming.



The NEA has produced a new resource in collaboration with the Autism Society of America, the American Speech-language-Hearing Association, and the National Association of School Psychologists. This article is an informational guide for all education personnel who work with students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The guide explains common characteristics and suggests effective classroom strategies for improving the communication, sensory, social, and behavioral skills of children who have autism.



Here you will find a list of possible accommodations for teachers and IEP teams to consider. These accommodations are some of the strategies that have worked with visual learners, learners with deficits in executive functioning, and learners with deficits in social interaction and self-regulation of emotions. This document is divided into sections:


 * 1) Transitions;
 * 2) Classroom Design and Structure;
 * 3) Presentation of Assignments, Instruction, and Testing; &
 * 4) In Case of Stress or Agitation. Refer first to the brief description at the top of each section. This alerts the teacher to potential aspects of learning style that suggest a need for the accommodations in that section. Then the teacher can review the accommodations in that section to see what to try.



The Exceptional Children Division is committed to assisting each local educational agency (LEA) in its efforts to provide training and ongoing support to school personnel responsible for the education of students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Individuals with autism spectrum disorders require individually designed interventions that meet their needs. In fact, no one intervention has been universally identified as being effective for all children with ASD. It is important, however, that parents and school professionals work together as a team to select empirically valid techniques (National Research Council, 2001; Olley, 1999).
