Supporting Social Inclusion for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders

By taking a scholarly view on social inclusion for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, this book provides unique insights from contributors who are at the forefront of research and conceptualisation of social inclusion of students with ASD. Through a framework of three sections, each of which examines a specific aspect of the social inclusion construct, contributors define social inclusion and highlight the relationship between well-developed social skills and positive social outcomes for these students. With a range of case studies and examples, with suggestions for further investigations, they also explicate and contextualise social inclusion across a range of educational settings.
