[senco-forum] Working with pupils with Asperger's as a career

internet days -- books, journals and written lecture notes -- all on

Our local school that specialises in teaching children with autism uses
the Ulfcumbe Reading and Spelling programmes.  Their outreach teacher
introduced both to the LSA in my former school who is designated support
for a statemented child.  They worked wonders with this child, enabling
him to develop a basic spelling vocabulary and to embark on reading
fluently.  Good to see a mention of the school that obviously produced
them from its own experience!
