Topics • Understanding characteristics and learning styles of children with high probability of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). • Challenges faced by teachers and children in the mainstream classroom • Classroom management strategies to handle children with high probability of ASD • Determining efficacy of classroom strategies

Objectives Participants will be able to: • reflect and share challenges faced in managing children, with high probability of ASD, in group settings; • develop relevant classroom strategies to address the learning and behaviour needs of children with high probability of ASD during large group and individualised teaching time; and • discuss factors influencing successful implementation of classroom management

Individuals with high probability of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) • Display characteristics of Autistic Learning and Behaviour (Chia, Kee & Shaifudin, 2010) • Does not have a known clinical diagnosis • Requires support in a learning environment
