Children and Youth With Asperger Syndrome: Strategies for Success in Inclusive Settings by Brenda Smith Myles

Designed for classroom teachers in inclusive settings, this book presents strategies for working with students with Asperger Syndrome.

AS is a disorder in the autism spectrum, and students with AS suffer from similar, though milder, symptoms as students with autism. It is often considered a social disability, though one of its most notable differences with autism is that most students with AS do develop verbal language skills.

The book provides over 50 research-based strategies for teachers, including guidance on transition planning and using technology, and tips for working with support staff.
