Autism Spectrum Disorder: Translating Policy and Procedure for High School Teachers

WHO IS THIS BOOKLET FOR?
Whether you are starting out as a secondary teacher to the most experienced educator, we are constantly challenged to adapt our teaching strategies and pedagogies to stay relevant in our always evolving diverse classrooms.
This booklet was written for you.
This booklet was written with information I wish I knew starting out in my teaching career. Therefore, I designed this booklet to be a practical resource to equip you with the necessary
knowledge and tools you might need to meet the needs of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). You will notice as you go through the pages of this booklet that there are:
o THOUGHT SPACEs - These are designated areas to help you to reflect, challenge and evaluate your own practice as a teacher and give you a space to develop ideas of
how you can carry out what you have learnt.
o Definitions - These are key terms related to ASD and education.
Ultimately, remember that as an educator you are never alone! There are vast amounts of support and resources that you can add to your tool belt to better equip you to create a truly positive learning environment for all of your students.
