The number of young people diagnosed with Autism is increasing, therefore teachers and support staff need to ensure that they are providing sufficient support for these children within the classroom. While many teachers are already keen to try and offer the best support for Autistic children, many are unsure of the best way to, or how to tackle problems when they arise. Secondary school, in particular, is a turbulent time for those with autism. Not only do they have to contend with increasingly harder work in many different subject areas, but also with examinations and adolescence. ..This book offers guidance for secondary school teachers that will help them to develop subtle learning strategies that have a huge benefit on pupils with Autism, create an inclusive, quality teaching environment, and support pupils with ASC during this time of change and reduce their anxiety.. It breaks down the key areas of potential difficulty, offering strategies, ideas, case studies and links to resources in way that is easy and accessible to busy teachers. Key topics covered are transition, coping with the first half of term, assessments, anxiety support, behaviour, social skills and communication, and teasing and bullying. Each idea includes step-by-step instructions to help teachers implement the techniques in the classroom, benefiting not only the pupils with Autism, but others in the class as well. ..This book is the ultimate troubleshooting guide for every secondary school teacher.

Industry Reviews

'This book asks us first to consider why a student on the autism spectrum may have difficulty with a task or situation, before providing 100 ideas for support and strategies. It clearly explains that not all students will want or benefit from the same approach: asking parents and the students themselves what might help is key.' -- Dr Glenys Jones, Chartered Psychologist, Autism Centre for Education and Research, University of Birmingham, UK
Throughout the book, it is clear that autism should not be used as an excuse to hold students back, but by supporting them to celebrate the individual nature of their situation, they can thrive and cope with situations just like all members of a school community. This book is important and should be firmly utilised in all secondary schools, offering support for teachers who may be unaware of the challenges of daily situations faced by those living with autism. Claire Bullock is an authority on working in the autistic arena, and the ideas and advice all flow from her experiences working on a daily basis with children with autism. -- UKEdChat
Let's face it, time is a premium for teachers and other education professionals. So having a book that so easy to browse and discover tried and tested suggestions - is incredible value. -- Special Educational Needs Resources Blog
