Educating College Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders is one of
the first books to specifically address the accommodation of
students with significant learning differences in postsecondary
education. Developed with the support of Autism Speaks, and piloted
at Pace University, each component of this book is
scientifically-based and provides a model of emerging best
practices for college instruction involving students with ASD. The
text is designed to give college faculty a deep understanding of
students with ASD and help faculty to productively engage students
with ASD, while also meeting the needs of all students in their
classes. The strategies included in the manual are solidly grounded
in principles of universal design and will prove indispensible for
teaching college students of varying ability levels and diverse
learning styles. A companion video shows clips of students and
educators that are engaged in inclusive practices to illustrate
approaches that have been successful in dealing with challenging
situations in the classroom.

Reform in education has focused mainly on development of new
programs and procedures to increase the achievement of the student
in the classroom. Teacher evaluations are now based on how students
perform in their classrooms on yearly standardized tests. The
advent of integrating students with special needs into the regular
classroom has brought both benefits and concerns for average and
above average students. Special education in the United States has
evolved from institutional and segregated environments to inclusion
in the regular education classrooms. We examine how the practice
has affected all students and question whether this change has
created equal opportunity for those students without special
education needs. This book researches and reports on issues of
current practice: e.g., teacher preparation, placement of students
with special needs, implications for the average and above in the
classroom and the financial costs driving placement decisions in
the education system. We examine the lowering of standards so all
can pass tests, report on loss of engagement of students by middle
school, and mourn the squandering of creativity to appease a
mandate. Sir Ken Robinson relates that, "Education is meant to take
us into a future we cannot even grasp." Yet we continue on a road
that lowers our educational ranking internationally. We recommend
to provide services for all students, and take the system from its
current state to one that provides a "Free and appropriate
education for all!"
Understanding the Power and Politics of Public Education researches
the history and trends of educating the populace in the United
States. Demographic changes and socio-economic diversity have
altered the needs for traditional approaches. Policy makers are
implored to become familiar with proven educational research to
implement policies that service the needs of all youth. Public
schools now enroll more minority students than ever before. Diverse
languages, cultures and experiences call for pedagogy to meet the
needs and educational success for new citizens. Teacher training
programs in colleges and universities - along with new curricula -
are in need of revision to promote educational success of new
generations. Understanding the role of experiential background and
its influence on educational success, and social mobility is
necessary for a healthy society and democracy. This book examines
statistical studies showing the impact of environmental issues on
cognitive development and illustrates the educational outcome and
effects of poverty through documented research in areas of health
care, nutrition, pollution, community and family experiences. It
also explores the role of family socio-economic status and compares
the educational readiness of the more and less affluent.
