Autism Teacher Awareness

One of the main places that parents often get information regarding their child’s autism is through the child’s school, particularly through their child’s teacher. This makes sense since the teacher sees the child every day and can observe interactions in class, as well as communication and their level of work.

How, though, can teachers make an appropriate determination as to whether a child might have autism or not, and how can they discuss this with the child’s parents without taking a difficult conversation about a difficult situation and making the situation even worse?

A new program for teachers, developed by Autism Speaks, The Ad Council and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is being launched to help teachers with the issues involving autism.
