| This page is designed for teachers who are or will be working with a student with Asperger's Syndrome. Children with Asperger's Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism, may have seriously impaired social skills. This can become an issue for everyday classroom management, and each individual student's needs should be addressed. Our goal is to create a website that offers links to information about Asperger's and practical behavior management strategies that can be easily implemented in the classroom. |
