This indispensable guide--based on a proven model that's being adopted in schools in the U.S. and abroad--helps educators to establish and maintain a successful inclusion program for children in the autism spectrum. Autism specialist Sonja de Boer guides readers step by step through the process, offering specific information on topics such as key roles and responsibilities, teaching and behavior intervention strategies, ongoing program assessment, and evaluating student progress. The book includes helpful forms and checklists that facilitate implementation of the inclusion process and the evaluation of students' progress within the program.
