Effects of Environmental Reorganization in Classrooms for Children with Autism.

Nordquist, Vey M.; And Others

Journal of Early Intervention, v15 n2 p135-52 Spr 1991

The classrooms of two teachers, two aides, and six children (ages four to eight) with autism were reorganized in their play materials and equipment, room arrangements, and scheduling of instruction and play periods. Adult smiling and affectionate words increased in the free play area, and children's use of play materials and compliance with adult instructions increased. (Author/JDD)
