Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders

• Discuss the characteristics of students who have autism spectrum disorders.  How might understanding the characteristics and/or causes of a student’s disability help a teacher integrate them into the classroom?   What are some of the models used for teaching these students and integrating them into the class? Please include other considerations such as the environment and use of technology. Be sure to discuss the benefits and limitations to the approaches mentioned.
