AUTISM & READING COMPREHENSION
Ready-to-Use Lessons for Teachers
by Joseph Porter, M.ED.
Copyright ©2011
The predictable format, repetition, and routine of these lessons will create a relaxed learning environment, while the variations in the topics will hold students’ attention and help them generalize the reading skills they need to succeed.
Starting with Level 1 (The Cat) and ending with Level 9 (The Lizard), special-educator Joseph Porter has developed an amazing 90 hours of animal-themed, whole-group instruction. There are two student worksheets for each of nine animals. Each worksheet has four variations, and there is a ready-to-go lesson plan for each one.
There are also two sentence-building exercises for each animal theme, which will build students’ observation skills and help them transform those skills into conversation and written language. In addition to the step-by-step lesson plans, this resource provides a detailed description of what the lessons will look and feel like in the classroom, complete with valuable, first-hand advice. The appendix provides numerous suggestions for complementary activities for each animal theme to supplement on the “off” days with art projects, music, books, and videos.
It also includes a section containing Data-Collection Sheets, assessment forms to record students’ progress per IEP standards. The companion CD-ROM contains all of the worksheets, lesson plans, visual tools, and assessment forms for quick-and-easy print.

ONE-ON-ONE
Working with Low-Functioning Children with
Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities
by Marilyn Chassman
Copyright © 1999
This manual and DVD program is for those who teach students who are non-compliant and have minimal skill repertories. One-on-One chronicles the author’s five year effort to home school her son, Brian, a child with autism who exhibited very aggressive behaviors and was non-communicative.
The manual presents over 30 structured learning activities. Each activity is clearly illustrated and presented in detail so you can recreate it in your classroom. Her approach focuses on breaking down a task to its basic components and linking them together one step at a time to form a complete activity. Activities begin with an easy match-to-sample exercise and progress to include typing simple words on the computer and following a picture schedule. Topics include dealing with aggression, record keeping, communication, self-help, fine and gross motor skills, and sensory toleration.
EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS
by Julie K. Ivey, Ph.D.
Copyright © 2009
Focusing on educational and instructional strategies that are successful with students with autism spectrum disorders, Educational Strategies for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders profiles the most current, research-based interventions that can be implemented by teachers in a classroom setting. Because autism spectrum disorders are on a continuum, educational placements can range from specialized autism classrooms to full-time inclusion in a general education classroom. It is important for teachers and staff to understand the various educational strategies that are available. It is the goal of this book to provide interventions and strategies to help teachers and staff best serve students on the autism spectrum. Strategies include applied behavior analysis, the Developmental, Individual Difference, Relationship-Based (DIR) model, discrete trial training, Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), Sensory Integration Therapy, and Social Stories, among others.

PRACTICAL IDEAS THAT REALLY WORK FOR
STUDENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS
Second Edition
by Kathleen McConnell & Gail Ryser
Copyright © 2006
Practical Ideas That Really Work for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders—Second Edition was revised and written to assist educators and parents in providing intervention strategies to promote these students’ ability to learn and to function in social situations. The book builds on the feedback that we have collectively received about our prior books in this series. We have learned that teachers find it very useful to have a repertoire of appropriate intervention strategies to use.
It is intended for use with students with autism spectrum disorders in preschool through Grade 12. It includes two primary components: 1) Evaluation Form with a Rating Scale and Ideas Matrix and 2) Practical Ideas Manual. The Rating Scale portion of the evaluation form is a criterion-referenced measure for evaluating behaviors that impact student learning and social interactions. The Manual includes an “Ideas Matrix” of 40 ideas, many with reproducible matters, and all grounded in research and the collective experience of the many educators who advised us and shared information with us. Each idea is provided with specific supporting references.
