To address this issue, the perspectives of directors and teachers who specialize in autism, as well as mainstream public or private school teachers were obtained through interviews. Three options for action emerged from an analysis …

When engaged in an activity where recognition and expression of feelings are required, they learn that having feelings is perfectly normal and that …
