Synopsis

The purpose of this book is to help teachers recognize and manage young children who may have ASD. Frequently, teachers are the first to recognize that a child’s development is different from that of other children. They suspect that something may be wrong but are not sure about how to proceed. Parts 1 and 2 of this book provide guidance in recognizing a developmental disorder. Part 3 contains information regarding the all-important task of how to speak with parents about the concerns that the teacher has. Part 4 provides advice on how to manage the child within the regular classroom. Part 5 provides information concerning what specialists do and what they can offer to children with ASD. This book is intended for all teachers of young children, whether in early years school programs or in preschool and nursery programs. It has been designed particularly for those teachers working in situations (such as international schools) where they may not have access to a range of experts who can assess and diagnose developmental disorders.
