Students with ASD may have difficulties with expressive and receptive communication. In order for them to be successful in the inclusive classroom, they will need to have the opportunity to communicate effectively. Teachers need to understand the students’ communication needs and develop appropriate supports and goals.

• Summarize Finn’s past developmental and educational history.
• Summarize how ASD has affected him, including a discussion of strategies that have been successful.

• Provide a rationale for the goals and specific strategies his family can use to support him.
• Describe three specific strategies and/or activities that can be used to support communication skills for students with ASD in the inclusive classroom. At least one strategy should include assistive technology.
