Setting Up Classroom Spaces That Support Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Enhance the well-being and success of students with evidence-based practices of structure and visual supports.

With even the best curricula and interventions, students with autism spectrum disorders will not learn unless the classroom environment is organised with their specific needs in mind. This long-awaited book shows through clear and brief text and lots of photos how to determine what type of furniture and materials to choose for various types of classrooms and how to arrange them in a way that creates an effective learning environment while reducing anxiety and preventing problem behaviours.

Examples are given for students across the age span with lots of lists and helpful resources, making it a must-have resource for every classroom.
