Welcome to the **AUTISTM SPECTRUM DISORDER** Teacher Resource File EPSY 322 by: Allie Woiden, Ashley Scherle, and Erin Toppings

A space to share, collaborate, and to learn from others about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

It is our hope that this online teacher resource file will assist you in understanding Autism Spectrum Disorders. We chose to present out Resource File in the form of a wiki so that all group members would have access to it as we enter the teaching profession. We also feel that it is a valuable resource to share with others within the class and other interested educators. Please click on the following links in the table of contents or use the tabs on the toolbar to navigate throughout this resource.

We invite you to first, watch this short video. This is Peter's story of how it feels to have autism. As you explore the elements of this wiki, we invite you to remember how Peter views the world in a different way than you or we do. We invite you to consider how YOU could create a classroom environment inclusive to Peter's need.
