Strategies for Working with Students with Autism in the General Education Setting
Visit http://www.txautism.net/ for the Texas Statewide Leadership for Autism Training.
This site has numerous resources for evidence-based practices for students with autism, including an online 12-part series of 30-minute videos entitled: Strategies for Working with Students with Autism in the General Education Setting. Topics include challenging behaviors, sensory issues, prompting and cueing, offering choices, routines and schedules, visual supports, supporting academics, and much more.
This is a FREE training series. Teachers simply create an account at https://ci.esc13.net/login.html and they can participate in the training at any time convenient to them.
Although this series does have some slightly dated content (it still refers to a STAAR-M test), the information regarding characteristics and needs of students with autism is very strong.
This series is recommended for general education teachers, in-class support teachers, REACH teachers and paraprofessionals, and provides excellent background information for the Effective Support in the Inclusive Classroom session offered this summer.
