http://ec.ncpublicschools.gov/disability-resources/autism-spectrum-disorders/accommodations.pdf
--Here is a link to a pdf about the evidence-based strategies that have been shown to work for some students on the autism spectrum. There is no strategy that has been shown to be effective with all students on the spectrum. If you notice a strategy you want to learn more about, let me know and I can get you more information on that/those specific strategies.
http://ec.ncpublicschools.gov/disability-resources/autism-spectrum-disorders/evidence-based.pdf
--And here is the State Board of Education DPI webpage that provided the links for those two documents. (In other words, these are the documents your child's EC teachers should be using to guide them in decision-making).
