Students on the autism spectrum often face difficulties in the secondary
education environment that result from a lack of awareness on the part
of their teachers and peers. This guide acquaints teachers with all the
information and practical tools needed to understand and support their
students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
The book presents specific, ready-to-use classroom initiatives with
example worksheets, checklists and timetables to help students keep
organised with their school work. It also covers general obstacles such
as social situations, anxiety, mental health issues and extracurricular
activities and how adults can help. Guidance about the leaving school
stage and how to ensure the teen is equipped to make the best possible
decisions about their future is included.
Packed with useful information and examples, this book will be a
lifesaving resource for teachers, and everyone else working in secondary
education, who want to help their students with autism to stay focused
and positive at school.
