High Functioning Autism/Inclusion
By Nikki

Hi! I'm an ED teacher at the elementary level, and I have a first grader diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (mild form of autism) who is included into the regular ed class. I'm considered a "resource" teacher, and this student| visits me quite often, due to behavior difficulties, but academically, he's way above grade level..... He's very intelligent, creative, and picks up new skills immediately..... he does have a one-to-one aide, because his behaviors have been severe (although he's making big improvements) in the beginning of the year he'd bite himself, slam his hands into the desk/door until they would | |
bleed, scream, kick, rip everything up..... he spent the majority of the time in my room in the beginning of the year.... now because he can handle more things, he spends more time int he regular ed class. (with an aide)
