Synopsis

This succinct guide will help educators identify, and meet the needs of, the student with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). School can be a nightmare for these students. Their lack of social understanding makes them an easy target for teasing and their different way of thinking can require a different way of teaching. Without information and training in this disability, teachers face confusion and frustration in light of students' unusual behaviors. This guide offers teachers a better understanding of AS so they can help the students with AS have a richer, more enjoyable educational experience. This quick-read answers questions and provides solutions!
