Synopsis

Middle school presents unique challenges to those with autism/Asperger's, but it can also be exciting and rewarding. Inclusive Programming addresses transitioning to and from middle school, and everything in between: hormones, cliques, bullying, aggression, and "fitting in." The ingredients for success are pre-planning, frequent monitoring of progress, teacher training, and regular communication between all concerned. Add committed teachers, peer mentors/tutors, sensible allowances for individual students' needs (extra test time, visual/oral format, less or different homework, etc.) as called for, and you have a recipe for success.

Helpful chapters include:

  • Autism in a Nutshell
  • Inclusion Discussion
  • Profiles and Characteristics of Middle School Students
  • Formation of an Individual Education Plan (IEP)
  • Behavior Programming in Middle School
  • Academic Issues of Middle School Students
  • Social Programming
