More students on the autism spectrum are taught in general
education settings today than ever before, bringing an array of
notable strengths and skills that add intriguing new dimensions to
educational programs. But these students also present challenges
that are broader, deeper, and more intractable than those of their
typically developing peers. Because reaching and teaching students
on the autism spectrum in an inclusive environment complicates the
work of teachers, school and district administrators must be
prepared to provide knowledgeable, mindful leadership. With warmth
and wisdom informed by her experience as a school administrator,
autism educator, clinician, and parent of a son on the spectrum,
Barbara Boroson provides a holistic look at the challenges students
on the spectrum face in the areas of anxiety, executive function,
sensation, communication, socialization, engagement, and cognitive
acquisition. You'll learn to decode the functional and behavioral
manifestations of these challenges, and you'll gain practical and
research-based preemptive, supportive, and responsive strategies.
You will also find: Insight into the perspectives of parents and
guardians, along with guidance on partnering with them in ways that
acknowledge both their expertise and yours. Tips for modeling
transparency and creative differentiation in order to set an
inclusive tone throughout your school or district. Supplemental
materials to help you engage and educate families and the entire
school community about autism, inclusion, and best-practice
policies. Decoding Autism and Leading the Way to Successful
Inclusion empowers school and district leaders to ensure that
students on the spectrum are welcome, supported, understood, and
set up for success. It's an essential resource for any education
leader committed to achieving a differentiated, equitable, and
inclusive learning environment for all students in their care.
