I teach an Autism Inclusion classroom. This classroom focuses on the needs of students with autism. The classroom provides small group instruction as well as promotes inclusion and mainstreaming into general education.
Position:
Autism Inclusion Teacher
Needs:
The students needs vary depending on their disability. Typically, however, students with autism learn visually, have below average language skills and struggle in social situations.
