商品簡介
Intended for education students, this work comprehensively covers a range of issues related to autism in the classroom--from a basic understanding of the condition to accepted strategies for teaching, such as Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication handicapped CHildren (TEACCH). Each chapter ends with key points for reflection and often mentions downloadable material available at the Sage website. Suggestion boxes appear throughout. This second edition addresses changes in the field of autism, such as a better understanding of sensory processing difficulties and the increase of students with autism educated in the mainstream. Although appropriate for an international audience, the introduction and overview chapter specifically cover developments in the United Kingdom, such as passage of the Autism Act of 2009.
