Paula Kluth's Tip of the Day

April is Autism Awareness month.  With the CDC's reported increase in the prevalence of autism (1 in 88), it's hard to imagine that everyone does not know of someone who has an autism spectrum disorder.  Although awareness is a good thing, information about how to support those with autism is even better.  Need tips about effective strategies and interventions you can utilize with students on the spectrum?  Check out Paula Kluth's website (click on the blog pencil link) and Facebook page, where for the month of April, she is posting a tip of the day.  Dr. Paula Kluth is a consultant, author, advocate, and independent scholar who works with teachers and families to provide inclusive opportunities for students with disabilities and to create more responsive and engaging schooling experiences for all learners.  Her website and Facebook page is always a great resource for teachers and families, for the month of April, they are even better.  Check them out!
