One in every 59 children has an autism diagnosis. Once thought rare, now every teacher will have an autistic child in their classroom. Maybe not last year, but this coming year....

Our rooms are full of diverse learners. Sadly, most university programs don't prepare teachers for this reality. With all those bright little faces gazing at you, the needs can seem overwhelming. How can you be everything to each one?

This book is for you. It will calm those panicky feelings. You can do this. By learning about autism and the characteristics that affect being in a classroom, you can tailor strategies that will help that learner, you and the other kids who are in your care. You cannot turn your room upside down for one kid but you can use strategies that are doable and will help many of the learners.

Dr. Sharon A. Mitchell gets it. She's been a teacher, counselor, school psychologist, district consultant and autism consultant for decades. She has presented to thousands at conferences and workshops on ways to successfully include kids who learn differently. She teaches university classes to wanna-be-teachers and to school administrators on inclusion strategies and students who learn differently.
Autism Questions Teachers Ask is the book you've been looking for.

Industry Reviews

- "Probably the best book that I have read on autism, certainly the most practical."

- "This book should be required summer reading for all teachers. It is informative and has many resources including videos from those on the autism spectrum. Many helpful suggestions and teaching techniques are given. This should be in all libraries and included in teachers college curriculum".

- "This book is well organized and lots of helpful information especially if you are new to the world of teaching autism. I wish I had a resource like this when I taught years ago; it would have been awesome".

- "This book is a truly valuable source of information and I would highly recommend it to anyone who works with children. Teachers and educators will find it especially useful, even if they don't presently have an autistic child in their classroom. The information is grouped according to topics which make it quick and simple to find relevant information at any given time. All information is presented in a concise, easy to read format and there are also references to sites where questions are explored in more depth. I have been teaching children with autism for 10 years and have yet to come across any similar book as user-friendly as this one."
