Document Summary
Autism, an intellectual condition that may be diagnosed in children at a very young age, can greatly effect the child"s learning abilities within the classroom. While many autistic children may excel in certain areas, such as arts or mathematics, a large issue for autistic children is their ability to communicate with others, whether that be in spoken, written or in gestures. Below, you will find several tips on how to facilitate the teaching, as well as learning, of reading to autistic children in the classroom. Firstly, it is important to note that a great amount of autistic children are integrated into regular classrooms, which has been increasing in numbers each year (but greatly depends on the type of school). Inclusion has been an important factor in an autistic child"s learning, as their primary learning greatly depends on learning through observing their peers (garfinkle & schwartz, 2002).
