In a Nutshell - This book helps in-service and pre-service teachers
understand how students with mild to significant autism can be
perceived as literate and then supported to participate in literacy
activities both in and out of school.Synopsis - In addition to
discussing reading and writing within the formal academic
curricula, this practical volume considers how students with autism
may use literacy to enhance other areas of their lives (e.g., to
research and understand their own disability, to pursue social
relationships online). Drawing upon classroom and school
observations, the authors' own experiences as elementary and high
school teachers, autobiographies of people with autism spectrum
disorders, and recent research in the areas of significant
disabilities and education, the book explores why students with
these labels are often excluded and offers ideas for planning
lessons, creating curricular adaptations, and designing a classroom
environment that promotes literacy learning for students with
autism.
