Historically, autism was considered a “low incidence” disorder. That is not true any more. In spite of the increase in this population, many educators are not specifically trained to educate these students. In fact, many professionals report that servicing this population is “less preferred” than working with other groups of students. That's the result of lack knowledge and experience with autism. Here's the challenge. Educators frequently find that the strategies and techniques that have worked for other students do not work well for students with ASD. But as we learn more, what becomes evident is that the teaching and communication strategies that work for students with autism can be wonderfully effective for other students, too, …particularly those who experience some degree of communication or learning challenge. Learning how students with autism learn and understand better helps us become more effective teachers for all students.
