Sommario/riassunto

Walter Kaweski offers secondary teachers practical strategies and heartfelt insights based on his extensive experience as an autism specialist, inclusion coordinator, and father of a son with Asperger syndrome. Students with special needs often require extra support as they adjust to middle and high school and the changes that accompany adolescence. Without support, this time can be overwhelming. In providing hundreds of valuable ideas to help teachers, each chapter offers numerous personal stories that illustrate and reinforce strategies



in a tangible way.
