Abstract

Since the 1980's the number of students with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) have been seen in larger numbers in the general education classroom. Children with AS may resemble their counterparts without disabilities both physically and in IQ scores. However, students with AS have significant differences in social skills and their ability to function in the general classroom. Often unable to decipher social cues, verbal cues, and body language, these children are considered social outcasts. Regardless of the characteristics of children with AS, educators are required by law, specifically the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), to provide a free and appropriate public education. This article provides characteristics of AS and evidence-based interventiosn teachers can implement in their general classrooms to help educate students with AS.
