Inhaltsangabe

Boucher, a school-based occupational therapist who works with students with autism and other special needs, and Oehler, a speech-language pathologist and autism consultant for a large urban school district, help teachers and others working with students with autism spectrum disorders deal with writing challenges. They explain why the process of writing is often so difficult for these students, examine various writing tasks required in school, and outline strategies that can help them meet National Common Core State Standards for writing. Each strategy addresses a standard, teacher concerns, why students have difficulties, and sensory, language, motor, organization, and technology strategies. They include worksheets. No index is provided. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
