Teaching+Students+with+Asperger+Syndrome

Aspergers Syndrome has been well documented on this wiki however, I have found 2 articles written by Susan Stokes both about Aspergers Syndrome so I will post both of them on here for everyone to look at.

The article which I am going to focus on mostly is named Educating the Student with Aspergers Syndrome. This article is a great resource for teachers who want to learn about Aspergers Syndrome. It offers a defintion of Aspergers Syndrome and then some of the behavioural and learning characteristics associated with a student who has Aspergers Syndrome. The main focus on the article is how to teach students with Aspergers Syndrome and the article offers many different teaching strategies for students who have Aspergers Syndrome. For example for a student who has difficulty with language the article offers a quite interesting startegie, it states that a comic strip can be applied to a range of problems with conversation skills, and many other basic examples such as teaching rules about conversations such as do not interrupt someone when they are talking, when to reply to someone or when to change the topic.

The other areas with strategies for teaching students with Aspergers are as follows; Insistance on Sameness Impairment of Social Interaction Restricted Range of Interests Poor Concentration Poor Organizational Skills Poor Motor Coordination Academic Difficulties Emotional Vulnerability Sensory Sensitivities

Once again this article is a great recourse for teachers wanting to learn about Aspergers Syndrome and to develop teaching strategies. There is an aboundance of information within the article and the other article I have posted as well. Not only can this information be used for students with Aspergers Syndrome but can also be used for students with Autism also many people may not think this but also for the general student body for students who may be struggling some of the learning outcomes.
