Children in mainstream classrooms.

Hi, my name is Jodie, I am a third year university student at Cardiff Metropolitan University. I am currently writing my dissertation and I have chosen my topic as: 'How practitioners support children with Autism in a mainstream classroom?'

I have chosen this topic as my chosen career is to work with children with Autism as this has always been a passion of mine and I wanted to look more into children with autism being integrated into mainstream classrooms. I have heard both positive and negative experiences so I wanted to look more in depth into the topic to not only help me with my own practice but hopefully to help other teachers or professionals working with children with Autism also.

So, I was wondering whether any of you could help me with this by telling me your own experiences regarding your children, everything you say will be confidential and you have the right to ask not to be included at any time.

I hope I am not intruding and I thank you in advance.

Jodie :)

  • Sounds slightly hash on someone who has not thought, but true. Most parents on here are looking for guidence and advice. From what i've read and a 'researcher' looking for info could easliy be interpratedly wrongly and give information without proper consideration. I was always told when looking at further education that doing the course alone was not enough and enough effort and volunteer work was required to show genuine interest and to 'stand out from the crowd'.

    Their must be connections for gathering data under supervision in an volunteering enviorment as longman and  stateofindependence mentioned.

    I mean no offence but as a 3rd year student you should of thought about this more, asking about Children on a website where parents are mainly asking 'from what i've seen' advice and are asking questions on what is best to do and how to deal with a diagnosis is a very grey area.

    Look at some of the posts draw your own conclusions and then gather data from legitimate sources where you have gotten sure approvel and you should have some data.

    I've never heard of many Students wanting to work with Adults, 'might just be me' but alot of adults were over looked and were not recgonised years ago i think they must be alot of scopein this area, and no not as many going into for it.
