Starting the School Year Well and What to Do If Things Go Awry: An Autistic Student-Centered Approach to All-Year Success

Use the expertise of the last year's school team to teach your new student! This book helps educators develop a comprehensive, yet easy-to-use school program that matches the autistic student's strengths, needs, and interests. By collaborating with the previous year's teachers, you can immediately implement effective strategies instead of spending time engaged in trial and error instruction.

Also included in this book is an extensive approach to behavior challenges that results in real change in the interventions and supports provided for the student.

Eliminate guesswork as you get to know a student at the beginning of the year. This approach allows you to get "right to work" to teach the student new skills that match how they learn. If behavior challenges occur, use this student- and teacher-friendly approach to teach new behaviors and provide support.
