Gifted Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (Paperback)

How can teachers effectively meet the needs of gifted students with autism spectrum disorders in their classrooms? This book explores the array of issues that surround this dual exceptionality. Like other twice-exceptional children, gifted children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are sometimes forced to choose between addressing the concerns of one exceptionality over another, but this is occurring less and less as dedicated teachers and informed parents collaborate to create environments and programming that supports the child's individual profile of abilities. Gifted Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders describes instructional and behavior management strategies for the most common challenges teachers face with gifted children with ASD so that the abilities of these children can be developed to their fullest potential.
