What’s the biggest challenge facing teachers today? Behavior. And which students present the most baffling and unique behavior problems? Our awesome kids on the autism spectrum.

Most teachers can’t call a behavior analyst every time a behavior problem crops up. Even when they do call in a behavior analyst, they might not understand all that talk about the “discriminative stimulus” and the “conditioned reinforcer" - it’s all so dry and confusing. Teachers don’t have time to wade through all that jargon, they’re too busy teaching. So what’s a teacher to do when a student throws a chair, or bites her hand, or refuses to work? It’s up to teachers to figure out solutions before the behavior gets worse.

The ABCs of Autism in the Classroom: Setting the Stage for Success was written by a Certified Behavior Analyst who was also a teacher for many years, as well as an autism mom. This title provides evidence-based, research-supported behavioral tools presented in teacher-friendly language.

You’ll meet a virtual village of students with problem behaviors you might find in your own classroom. You’ll also read stories shared by children and adults on the autism spectrum, in their own words.
