The Inclusion of Autistic Students in the General Curriculum.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
Elementary, middle, and retired teachers, from the Montour School District, volunteered to participate in a research study of teachers' attitudes and beliefs pertaining to academic standards and inclusion of autistic students in the general curriculum. Fourteen participants completed two surveys and a personal interview with an independent observer present. Survey responses were analyzed and further clarified during the interviews. Teacher profiles were developed, which shared personal experiences and beliefs regarding the standards and inclusion. Although experiences and attitudes varied greatly between individuals, all of the participants recognized the need to participate in individualized education planning and the need for additional training regarding autism and inclusion. Participants also acknowledged the emphasis on teaching the Pennsylvania academic standards and the increased pressure to have all students become proficient in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics.
