Autism is growing at a phenomenal rate in our nation - markedly outpacing the education of our educators. And who has less time in their lives than teachers, for extra research? Autism Writes is intended to be a resource for teachers – full of ideas and information and conversation.
Questions, questions, questions….
Early intervention is great – and the evidence proving its efficacy is overwhelming and highly available.
However, the information available about how to continue to help students that live with ASD, in the later years of their schooling, seems woefully inadequate.
How do we help students with autism adjust to life in a busy, crazy, drama-laden middle school or high school life? How do we help them read and write, both of which are intuitive, relational activities, with any degree of success?
And by the way – who defines success?
Join me in my quest for answers… talk to me, talk to each other. Autism DOES speak – and not just from the mouths of preschool and elementary age kids. What does Autism say when when it’s communicated by secondary age students?
Help me discover how it sounds, what it looks like, when Autism Writes.
