Synopsis
Autism – What to Do and What to Avoid is a practical guide designed for primary school teachers working with pupils aged 6– 11 with autism spectrum disorder. Combining scientific knowledge with everyday classroom practice, it provides clear, evidence-informed, ready-to-use strategies that help teachers respond effectively to the most common challenges associated with autism, while promoting learning, participation, and well-being for the whole class.
The teacher training series What to do and What to Avoid aims to help teachers understand how children with developmental, behavioural, or psychiatric disorders perceive, process, and respond to the world. By gaining insight into their cognitive functioning, teachers can adopt more effective educational approaches and develop a shared language with the clinicians supporting the child. The underlying principle is simple but fundamental: children with autism may display challenging behaviours, but they are not “ problematic children.” Their behaviour has meaning and can be understood and supported through appropriate educational strategies.
The volume is organised into 15 chapters covering the most common classroom situations involving autistic pupils. These are grouped into three main areas: Social Interaction, Communication, and Behaviours, Interests and Activities. A brief theoretical introduction provides the essential background before moving to practical guidance.
Each chapter begins with a concise explanation of the reasons underlying a specific behaviour (Why do they act this way?). It then offers clear guidance on effective responses and common mistakes to avoid (What to Do / What to Avoid). A reflective section (What to Keep in Mind) helps teachers interpret behaviour from the child's perspective, while How to Intervene provides practical educational strategies that can be implemented immediately in the classroom.
Topics include establishing behavioural expectations, organising classroom activities and routines, monitoring challenging behaviours, reinforcing positive behaviours, adapting teaching practices, and promoting collaboration among teachers, specialists, and families through a shared Educational Pact.
Each of the three main sections ends with practical observation checklists designed to help teachers identify the child's strengths, needs, and emerging abilities. These tools support systematic classroom observation, facilitate dialogue with families and professionals, and provide a solid basis for defining educational goals within the Individual Education Plan.
Written in the accessible style of a teacher's handbook, Autism – What to Do and What to Avoid translates research into practical action, offering teachers concise, reliable guidance that can be applied immediately in everyday school life.
