Autism and Learning (Classic Edition) cover

This classic text provides a principled approach to understanding autism in education, emphasizing the connection between learning and effective teaching strategies.

In Autism and Learning (Classic Edition), the authors present a principled approach that intertwines pedagogy and psychology specifically tailored for children with autism. This insightful work emphasizes the importance of understanding the cognitive relationship between learning and autism, advocating for a curriculum that is thoughtfully constructed to reflect this connection. The text serves as a bridge between theoretical frameworks and practical applications, illustrating how educators can effectively adapt their teaching methods to meet the unique needs of autistic learners.

The complexities of autism often make it challenging to establish definitive teaching strategies. Many existing theories and methodologies claim to provide solutions, yet they frequently fall short when faced with the unpredictable nature of autistic behavior. Autism and Learning (Classic Edition) tackles this dilemma head-on, offering a comprehensive exploration of pedagogical principles while showcasing their practical applications in various educational contexts.

With contributions from experienced practitioners in the field, the book covers a wide range of curriculum areas, including developing play, group work, science, and outdoor learning. Each section highlights effective practices that can be implemented in the classroom to enhance learning experiences for autistic children. Now featuring an updated preface from respected editors, this classic text is an essential resource for anyone dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive educational environment for autistic learners.
