Product Description

Communication, the Journal of the NAS
...essential reading for anyone concerned with access and inclusion for people with autism spectrum disorders.

Product Description
Based on their pioneering work at the King Ecgbert School, the authors explore the issues of access and inclusion in employment and education for children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD). They describe the challenges they faced in establishing and running an Integrated Resource for children with ASD, within a mainstream secondary school. The 28 pupils at The Resource participate in the regular school curriculum, but also learn a wide range of additional life skills. These include road safety, work-place skills and using public transport as well as expressing feelings, making choices and learning from experience. The innovative Post 16 provision of The Resource arranges work placements for its older pupils with employers such as Sainsbury's and Norwich Union and these projects reveal the encouraging possibilities within employment for young people with ASD. Throughout, the authors make useful practical suggestions for access and inclusion, showing how people with ASD can participate more fully in the world of work and the community.

5.0 out of 5 stars essesntial reading, 9 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Matthew and Christine get to the heart of the issues surrounding autism and inclusion in a mainstream secondary school and college setting. Whilst not experts, it is clear they and their team have built considerable expertise in this vital area.
Their book is easy to read and easy to learn from. The respect they show to adolescents with autism is to be admired and imitated. The fact that their approaches are truely inclusive can only work for the benefit of children and teenagers with autism.

5.0 out of 5 stars an aspie supporter, 4 Sep 2006
When I read this book a 'light came on in the end of my tunnel' because its so obvious. They say that they're not experts but theyve learnt from autie kids by watching and listening. Its made me think that everyone can do the same as they've done now and make things better for us auties and aspies. The kids are the most important thing - nothing about us without us.I wish school would ve been like this for me. Rock on.

1.0 out of 5 stars an interested reader, 2 Aug 2006
I was very dissapointed with this book. I'd read the first book by Hesmondhalgh and Breakey and fouund it inspiring. This book contains nothing new and I feel reflects a poor knowledge on ASD by the author. It hasn't moved on.
