Asperger Syndrome (AS) is a disorder in the autism spectrum, and students with AS suffer from similar, though milder symptoms as students with autism. Classroom teacher who are charged with teaching students with AS generally have not been provided the skills and knowledge to do so. Crafting and implementing plans for students is nearly impossible without a clear understanding of the disorder, or clearly defined instructional methods and strategies.

Adaptations for success in general education settings

Environmental modifications, including visual supports and organizational strategies
