The Benefits of Inclusion for Students on the Autism Spectrum
Beghin, Hannah
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v13 n2 p12-16 2021
Children with autism have a right to be within inclusive classrooms. There are many benefits to having inclusive classrooms, including reducing stigma surrounding autism, creating respectful relationships between all students within a classroom, teaching all students how to act positively with others, and increasing knowledge of autism. To best create an inclusive classroom, teachers should continue differentiating instruction, should teach to a student's interests and needs, and should meet with family members of students with autism to better understand the needs of the child. All students can benefit from being in an inclusive classroom setting, and teachers often already implement teaching strategies that would best support a child with autism.
