Autism Spectrum Disorders in the Mainstream Classroom:
How to Reach and Teach Students With ASDs

“This engaging and informative book gives you the knowledge you need to understand students with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and strategies you can use to help them succeed in school.

Drawing on her twenty years experience in the field, Barbara Boroson guides you through creating a classroom that is responsive to the needs of your students with ASDs—while keeping the rest of your students, and yourself, going strong. She describes the many challenges these students face, and offers preventive strategies to head off difficult behavior before it becomes disruptive. Learn about:

• breaking through to hard-to-reach kids
• reducing students’ anxiety
• understanding behavior as communication
• building a classroom community
• differentiating instruction to support all kinds of learners
  and much more.

The ultimate goal is a classroom in which all students feel valued and respected, in which all students can learn and grow. Since 1 out of 110 children today has an autism spectrum disorder, this is a must-have resource for every teacher’s bookshelf!” —Scholastic
