About this item
This guide for teachers provides a new look at classroom systems to support students on the autism spectrum. The easily adaptable accommodations in From Surviving to Thriving address common areas of need for students on the spectrum who are capable of participating in standard classrooms but need specific supports. Educators will learn not only what works but also why it works and how to implement it in their own classrooms. These accommodations are sustainable, never single out students with special needs, and work for every student of any age. An inclusive classroom doesn't just make school easier for the student; it makes teaching easier for the educator as well.
