Strategies for the Successful Inclusion of Students with Asperger Syndrome in Primary School

Abstract

Today's classrooms contain exciting cultural, academic and behavioural dimensions that teachers need to fully understand and embrace in order to manage the successful learning of every student. In mainstream classrooms, students presenting with learning disabilities and learning difficulties require the teacher to carefully think through effective learning strategies to promote inclusive classroom practices. This article summarises a seminar delivered at the University of Hong Kong on the 8th February where a number of strategies to successfully include students with Asperger Syndrome (AS) in Primary School were discussed.
