Product Description:

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are reported as the sixth most commonly classified disability among young people receiving special education services in American schools, and it's been estimated that as many as 500,000 young people in the U.S. (birth to 21) have an ASD. There is still much to be learned about ASD - about the causes; the best ways to identify ASD in early childhood and begin early interventions; and the best ways to support the academic, social, and vocational success of students with ASD. Research is continually adding to our current knowledge, giving educators, families, and individuals with ASD more information to use in making decisions that support the development of the full potential of each student with ASD. While that work of seeking to better understand ASD continues, there are some things that have been discovered so far that are important in supporting success in school and beyond for students with ASD. It is those insights that we share in this Impact.
