But do we really know what it means?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChildren with autism are challenged by the most essential human behaviors. They have difficulty interacting with other people--often failing to see people as people rather than simply objects in their environment. They cannot easily communicate ideas and feelings, have great trouble imagining what others think or feel, and in some cases spend their lives speechless. They frequently find it hard to make friends or even bond with family members. Their behavior can seem bizarre.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEducation is the primary form of treatment for this mysterious condition. This means that we place important responsibilities on schools, teachers and children's parents, as well as the other professionals who work with children with autism. With the passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1975, we accepted responsibility for educating children who face special challenges like autism. While we have since amassed a substantial body of research, researchers have not adequately communicated with one another, and their findings have not been integrated into a proven curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEducating Children with Autism\u003c\/i\u003e outlines an interdisciplinary approach to education for children with autism. The committee explores what makes education effective for the child with autism and identifies specific characteristics of programs that work. Recommendations are offered for choosing educational content and strategies, introducing interaction with other children, and other key areas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book examines some fundamental issues, including: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow children's specific diagnoses should affect educational assessment and planning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow we can support the families of children with autism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures of effective instructional and comprehensive programs and strategies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow we can better prepare teachers, school staffs, professionals, and parents to educate children with autism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat policies at the federal, state, and local levels will best ensure appropriate education, examining strategies and resources needed to address the rights of children with autism to appropriate education.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eChildren with autism present educators with one of their most difficult challenges.
