What Good Teachers Know About Teaching Students on the Autism Spectrum

When teachers view the behavior of children on the autism spectrum through typical lenses, their view is always distorted.
Educators must know autism inside and out to have the clarity that allows them to teach children the way they learn, to interpret what the child is communicating and to respond appropriately.
We must start insisting that only those teachers with the right approach, the heart, the creativity and the training are working with our vulnerable children. We wouldn’t let a foot doctor perform open-heart surgery. Why are we so complacent in allowing educators with no understanding of autistic learners to be responsible for their education?
