Description

This exciting text equips educators with practical, evidence-informed strategies to support neurodivergent learners. Packed with actionable advice that can be easily incorporated into your everyday teaching, the book shows how you can foster positive relationships, enhance teaching and optimise learning outcomes. Exploring the theory around autism, this new edition has been fully revised and includes two new chapters on adapting for demand avoidance and managing change, including transitioning from primary to secondary school. There is also expanded guidance on multi-agency working and improving relationships with families. Other topics covered include: procedural/semantic memory, executive functioning, expressive/receptive language, sensory integration, behaviour as communication and the importance of emotional literacy, co-regulation and resilience. Good Autism Practice for Teachers isn't about prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions; it's about empowering educators to make informed decisions tailored to their unique class and students. Whether you're a seasoned teacher or a trainee, including SENCOs, this book is your key to transforming your classroom.
