Special Considerations for Students with High-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Guide for School Administrators
(Adreon& Myles)

School administrators play a key role in creating a mind-set within their school district, region, or school as to how school personnel approach various challenges they may encounter when working with students and families. In many instances, a school administrator can provide certain accommodations for students with disabilities, as well as guide decisions regarding how teachers address behavioral challenges. The purpose of this book is to provide school administrators with useful and practical suggestions and strategies that can increase student achievement, engagement, positive behavior, and social skills for high-functioning students on the spectrum (HF-ASD); help reduce educator stress and frustration; and increase positive interactions between families and school personnel so that the school day is more successful for all parties.

Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence – Practical Solutions for School Success
(Myles & Adreon)

Autism Society Award Winner!

The middle school years, and the transitions to middle and high school, pose challenges for all students. But for students with Asperger Syndrome the transition can be traumatic, leading to a downward emotional spiral and even depression. This comprehensive book starts with an overview of those characteristics of AS that make adolescence particularly challenging and difficult. The centerpiece of the book is a look at strategies and supports for a successful school experience for students with AS at the middle and secondary levels.

“A stunning accurate portrayal of the challenges adolescents with Asperger Syndrome face in school. Of at least equal importance, this “must-have” resource is jam-packed with sensible and easy to implement solutions for teachers, aides, parents and others who will ultimately give these emerging adults with tools they need to navigate through the turbulent middles and high school years…and beyond.”

-Stephen M. Shore, Author of Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences with Autism

Simple Strategies That Work! Helpful Hints for All Educators of Students with Asperger Syndrome, High-Functioning Autism, and Related Disabilities
(Myles, Adreon and Gitlitz)

Children and youth with Asperger’s Syndrome, high-functioning autism (HFA), and pervasive developmental disorders-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and related exceptionalities have great potential. However, all too often their abilities are not realized. Simple Strategies that Work! provides ideas and suggestions that teachers can use to help a student with Asperger’s and other related conditions, which are now classified as Autism Spectrum Disorder, on the road to success. The book discusses problems that arise in the classroom and how teachers can adjust the classroom to accommodate, while not interfering with normal classroom routines. Not boggled down with jargon, this book includes tables and boxes for quick reference and clear meaning for Asperger’s and ASD-related information.

“I love this book! The secret is its simplicity. I plan to use the book as a training guide for school staff working with students with AS/HFA. I particularly love the clever way each strategy has been introduced, with titles like ‘Live Out Loud,’ and brief and easy –to-understand explanations of why it is important to use a given strategies. The ideas are appropriate for all educational environments—from early childhood to adult work situations—and are laid out in a user-friendly way so as to be easily understood by special education as well as mainstream personnel.”
