More and more children are being diagnosed with autism. You may already have an autistic child in your class and not know it.

Understanding the way autistic children learn and think will help you integrate these children into your classroom.

Children with autism tend to have many sensitivities which influence behavior, communication, and social connection to the outside world. Understanding the autistic child's rigid routines, repeated body movements, unusual responses to people, or attachment to objects is essential for providing an optimum learning environment and maximizing social interaction with peers.
