It explores issues such as: Interpreting assignment tasks ; Unwritten expectations and codes of conduct ; Rigidity of thinking ; Project planning ; Self-monitoring ; Multi-tasking and central coherence. The authors suggest practical strategies for better accommodating students with ASD in the inclusive classroom.
