Course Overview
Learn strategies that will help you interact with all your students more effectively...especially those with autism!
The number of children being diagnosed with Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is on the rise. This is creating increasing demands on the educational system and its most valuable asset, the teacher.
This class will provide useful and practical resources for ALL teachers.
Students with ASD differ from their peers in a variety of ways, though they may outperform them in certain areas. Some have stronger rote abilities and can do spatial, matching and perceptual tasks with greater ease than their peers. Some may excel at mathematics and science. The task for the teacher is to know that the student with ASD will have a mixed ability of strengths and weaknesses. In the best classroom, the teacher focuses on the student’s strengths while teaching to the specific weaknesses.
A good teacher will always develop an interest in their students. A good teacher in an integrated classroom will also need to have an understanding of autism. This class will provide you will ideas to assist ALL children.

This is a great introductory course. I would have liked a deeper dive into suggestions for designing curriculum for students with autism. If you ever do a course focused on curriculum design, I will definitely take it.
