Description: Although individuals with autism spectrum disorder may be fluent readers – indeed, many have very precocious reading skills. This is because people with autism spectrum disorder often need support when it comes to reading comprehension. Comprehension difficulties in readers with ASD can be subtle and difficult to tease out. As a result, their substantial level of risk for reading comprehension problems is often overlooked or unaddressed, and many students struggle in silence. This is where Drawing a Blank becomes helpful. This practical and well-researched resource provides educational professionals and parents with the tools needed to improve comprehension for good decoders who have reading comprehension difficulties, as well as readers who struggle with both decoding and comprehension. In keeping with current standards, the book emphasizes the importance of using evidence-based and promising practices, based on thorough assessment of students with autism spectrum. Don't let your loved one suffer in silence. This resource helps those with autism spectrum disorder learn how they can become better and more effective readers.
