  1. Students with Autism is a challenge for every educator. When I was student teaching, I was trying to help a student with autism in music class. It was a big challenge for me and my mentor. I hope that your research will be able to outline some things to help the student and the educator. Good Luck in your research. =)

  2. This research topic is close to my heart. I have had several autistic children in my classroom. I look forward to seeing your results. I know one of the autistic children I taught was very good on the computer. Maybe you could add to your research and find what technology resources are available for these students in the classroom to assist them. Great plan!
