Abstract:
Determining the most effective strategies to educate children and youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be daunting. Dr Stephen Shore, an autism advocate who is on the spectrum, said, "If you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism." Individuals diagnosed with ASD present with unique strengths and difficulties and experience characteristics of their disability in different ways. General and special educators must be prepared with a variety of evidence-based practices and instructional strategies to engage and educate students diagnosed with autism. This article discusses current methods, techniques, evidence, and controversies for educating individuals diagnosed with autism.
