How much easier my life would have been if I had read this book during my teacher education classes years ago! This material bridges the gap between theory and practice for those who work with children on the autism spectrum, saving much trial and error. The tips for the classroom are especially helpful.
~ Mary Schlieder, special educator, inclusion specialist, and author, With Open Arms –Creating School Communities of Support for Kids with Social Challenges
Pamela Wolfberg and Kari Dunn Buron have compiled a critically important volume in supporting learners on the autism spectrum. As each individual's needs are different, they offer us multiple perspectives on how to support learners with contributions from a list of seminal authors in the autism field, including the crucial voices of those on the spectrum and their families. All the chapters share a humanistic framework that respects the perspectives and preferences of learners on the spectrum. From early intervention, school related academic and behavioral supports, social-communication strategies, to transitioning to adulthood, the reader will find what they need to get the latest information on assisting those on the spectrum.

This is a very thoughtful update of a must-read text. ‘Learners on the Autism Spectrum’ provides a deep dive into important current topics for students and professionals in the field. This is one of the only texts to include the voices of autistic experts. I have added this treasure to my professional library and strongly recommend this book.

This is a treasure trove of tips on how to educate children with autism...This highly approachable book contains chapters by leading experts describing their insights into the nature of autism spectrum disorder, written with teachers in mind. It makes plain that teaching these children is both enormously challenging and hugely rewarding.
~ Uta Frith, FmedSci, FBA, FRS, Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development, University College London
It is rare to see such a comprehensive guide to research and theory in autism that at the same time uses exemplars to make it all accessible and addresses the question that parents and educators most want to know – what does it all mean, and how can I use it to make a difference? This book will be a wonderful resource for all those seeking to understand (and value) people with autism.

This is an important textbook in the current autism renaissance...Today, parents and professionals have a wide variety of books to inform and guide their efforts. This book, however, isn’t about autism’s “yesterday” or even its “today.” ‘Learners on the Autism Spectrum’ is about autism’s tomorrow. It merges current thinking with insight to equip each reader with the tools needed to effectively educate learners on the spectrum in the future...Its purpose and quality distinguish it from many other books in the field... It is evident that the editors and authors ... have responded to people on the spectrum with care, creativity, and a respectful and unassuming curiosity. In between the lines of text, and directly reflected in the case examples that open each chapter and the lists of ideas that close them, is a demonstration of how to think about autism...The result is a volume that contains a rare social competence with the potential to connect all learners on or alongside the autism spectrum – university students, professionals, parents, and learners diagnosed with ASD and their peers... (Excerpted from foreword of previous edition).

The latest edition of “Learners on the Autism Spectrum” goes beyond providing essential knowledge and practical skills that professionals seek to meet the needs of individuals with neurodevelopmental differences by also taking into consideration personal intersectional needs based on sociocultural identities (e.g., ethnicity, race, language, gender expression, socioeconomic). This foundational text is an excellent choice for use in an institute of higher education course on autism.
