This edition is one of the research outputs generated for primary and secondary special education teachers who participated in the research project titled 'Development and implementation of pilot programs for the social integration and vocational rehabilitation of persons with autism' (2006-2008) funded by the European the European Union & the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs. This book is divided into two parts including 19 case studies of children and adolescents with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) who successfully transitioned from their special school to a mainstream school or to a vocational setting in the community. Each case study describes in detail the skills and difficulties of each individual student as well as the instructional and curriculum adaptations applied in each educational or vocational context. Also a critical evaluation of this experience for the teachers and the students themselves is presented. |
