Schulbegleitung und Autismus

The social and sensory challenges of school operations can quickly overwhelm autistic children. Their different, often noticeable behavior leads to misunderstandings with classmates or teachers. Limitations in communication can also make it difficult to reach agreements with these children or to understand their needs. The role of school assistants is to mediate between the demands of the school and the needs of the accompanied person, striving to bring them into harmony. The author explains autistic traits, connects them with everyday school life, and derives concrete practical assistance from this. This results in a practice-oriented guide, including scenarios on how support can be structured.
