Why do Administrators Need to Know About Autism. Autism is the most heavily litigated area in Special education. Poorly informed administrators can not ensure appropriate services for children with autism. An autism diagnosis covers a diverse population regarding cognitive ability and severity. Autism is the fastest increasing area of disability in the united states.

What is autism? Neurobiological developmental disorder Impairments in reciprocal social interaction Impairments in communication Restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior interest or activity A spectrum disorder

What Causes Autism? In the majority of areas, no specific underlying cause can be identified. How ever a variety of factors are currently under investigation. These include infectious, metabolic, genetic, and environmental origin.

Meeting The Needs of Autism Administrators need to understand what the antecedents are for students with autism. Administrators need understand specific behaviors that are typical of students with autism. Administrators need to ensure that their staff is trained and aware of these students. Administrators should assemble a team of individuals to help students with autism.
