ASD Resources for Educators

The U.S. continues to witness a rapid rise in the number of students who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), including high functioning students who may wish to pursue some form of higher education. Teachers who work with these students can benefit from research-based strategies and knowledge, given the challenging needs that students with ASD can experience. The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) website provides some timely and practical information, including THE BASICS, HELPING A CHILD WITH ASD IN YOUR CLASSROOM, and UNDERSTANDING AUTISM: A GUIDE FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS.
