In this exciting companion to the beloved classic Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, the unique voice of an autistic child explains to teachers—both in the classroom and the wider community—how to understand the thought and processing patterns common to autism.
It offers guidance on shaping an environment suited to their learning style and communicating functionally and meaningfully with autistic students of all ages. This is the guide that educators and family members everywhere need to create effective, inclusive environments where both child and adult act as both teacher and learner. This vibrantly updated and expanded edition features an imaginative new guide adaptable for group discussion, self-reflection, or self-expression; an afterword by the author's autistic son; and additional perspectives from autistic adults regarding their own educational experiences. A perennial favorite since 2006 and translated into multiple languages, Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew now brings a fresh perspective to a new generation of educators and autistic students.
