Title: Autism Spectrum Disorders and Schools

Description: This TA Packet is designed to provide those working in schools with a brief set of resources for understanding Autism Spectrum Disorders and what is done to treat them - with a special emphasis on the role of the school. There is a particular interest in this topic at this time because of the increasing number of youngsters being labeled, revived speculation about cause, and ongoing controversy about best practices and what the mental health focus should be.
