Publisher's Synopsis
Many students with Asperger Syndrome and autism have demonstrated that with effective transition strategies and informal support systems, secondary school can be a rich and productive experience. Success Strategies offers a framework for supporting students with simple, commonsense solutions. Strategies such as a reduced course load, a designated place to de-stress and the use of laptops and other technologies can be the difference between opting out of a program and thriving in secondary school and beyond. Includes An Introduction to Asperger Syndrome for Classroom Teachers - an ideal six-minute orientation for teachers and other staff with little experience with students with Asperger Syndrome.
