Asperger's And Girls
“Her Inclusive Programming books each provide an inclusion program for students with severe disabilities. (Keep your eye out for her next book, Inclusive Programming for High School Students with Autism.) Her engaging and readable style, coupled with her extensive knowledge and classroom practice, makes her books indispensable to professionals and nonprofessionals alike.This article explores why the system fails to diagnose Asperger’s girls, and asks, “Are we as a nation setting standards for ed...ucating students with AS based solely on boys?” The answer: “Yes.” Sheila Wagner proposes solutions so practical you’ll wonder why they weren’t implemented long before: better training at all academic levels; peer programs enlisting fellow students to integrate AS girls into the school community; social-skills groups comprised of girls instead of groups populated primarily by boys; modified academic strategies and girls-only instruction on menstruation and sexual issues. Equally valuable is a list of behaviors to alert teachers that a girl should be evaluated for Asperger’s.MoreLess
