Children and Youth With Asperger Syndrome
Strategies for Success in Inclusive Settings
- Brenda Smith Myles - University of Kansas, USA
AS is a disorder in the autism spectrum, and students with AS suffer from similar, though milder, symptoms as students with autism. It is often considered a social disability, though one of its most notable differences with autism is that most students with AS do develop verbal language skills.
The book provides over 50 research-based strategies for teachers, including guidance on transition planning and using technology, and tips for working with support staff.
"This comprehensive, thoughtful, and clearly written book provides helpful strategies for educational professionals to teach children and youth with Asperger Syndrome (AS). Every teacher interested in AS will want to read this book."
