Autism is a disability that affects the way children behave, learn, and interact in everyday situations. Children with autism often have difficulties with communication and social interactions.

This month, PBS Parents provides a great feature on How To Help Children With Autism.  Written by Fredda Brown, Ph.D., Sima Gerber, Ph.D. and Christopher M. Oliva, Ph.D. of Queens College, this “Inclusive Communities” segment has features on educational needs, team planning, and how to support children.  Other Inclusive Communities segments include Family Rights, Special Education Evaluation, Assisitive Technology and others.  This is a great resource to pass along with families who are working their way though these important issues in education.
