Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Effective Instructional Practices
L. Juane Heflin and Donna Fiorino Alaimo
Broadened public awareness of autism and other associated spectrum disorders, combined with continuing research, means that more students than ever before are being identified with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Effective Instructional Practices provides a systematic approach to addressing research-based content and specific instructional strategies for beginning and experienced teachers.
Readers will follow Ms. Harris, a novice educator working with students with Autism Spectrum Disorders, throughout the book as she develops her own skills in becoming an effective teacher.
Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Effective Instructional Practices also addresses:
- Identifying and determining eligibility of students with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
- Collaborating with families and professionals to develop effective programs that encourage communication and social competence.
- Developing instructional contexts to address the unique learning needs of students who have Autism Spectrum Disorders by differentiating instruction in the content areas, addressing challenges in non-academic activities, and carefully tailoring supplemental learning opportunities such as homework and summer school.
- Using Applied Behavior Analysis and developing Positive Behavior Support plans for instruction and addressing challenging behavior.

This review is from: Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders : Effective Instructional Practices (Paperback)
This book is very well written, with all the info needed for my class. I would recommend this book for anyone who works with or is a parent of an autistic individual.

I used this book for two graduate classes. It was great and very informative. I was actually taught both courses by one of the authors.

Decent autism text,

This review is from: Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders : Effective Instructional Practices (Paperback)
I used this text in one of my graduate classes, and it was very useful. Here are the brief contents:
1. Identifying and Describing Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders 2. Historical Perspectives and Etiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders 3. Collaborating to Develop Effective Programs 4. Creating Contexts for Instruction 5. Accommodating Sensory Issues 6. Using Applied Behavior Analytic Instructional Strategies 7. Programming for Challenging Behavior 8. Encouraging Communication and Verbal Behavior 9. Enhancing Socialization and Social Competence 10. Promoting Academic Skill Acquisition 11. Organizing Instructional Opportunities in Nonacademic Environments Throughout the book (and wrapped up in the epilogue) is the fictional story of Ms. Harris, a new college graduate who is learning to teach students with autism. I think those features helped provide real-life context for the content in the text. All that said, I don't think it was the best autism text I've used. I would recommend Autism: Teaching Does Make a Difference over this one. This one isn't bad, though; the other one is just better and more comprehensive.
