This AutismVision program was specifically developed to foster the social inclusion of children with autism in general education classrooms. The program consists of a multimedia package designed to reach children ages 8 to 11.

The goals of this AutismVision program are to:

• Increasing typical children’s understanding of autism
• Fostering empathy and positive attitudes toward children with autism
• Promoting positive social interactions between children with autism and their typical peers

This audiovisual program provides classmates with comprehensive, yet developmentally appropriate information about autism. A Facilitator’s Guide provides instructions for teachers or other advocates on how to effectively implement the classroom presentation, along with suggested activities that reinforce main learning points.
