Educating Children With Autism

Autism is a word most of us are familiar with. But do we really know what it means? What we do know is that children with autism are challenged by the most essential human behaviors. Autism generally has lifelong effects on how children learn to be social beings, limiting their ability to take care of themselves and to participate in the community. Education is the primary form of treatment for this mysterious condition. This means that we place important responsibilities, not only on schools and teachers but also on children's parents. Educating Children with Autism outlines an interdisciplinary approach to education for children with autism, while also exploring the educational options that have proved to be most effective.
