Description

Creativity and the Autistic Student offers a fresh perspective on supporting autistic youth in education. By exploring meaningful learning experiences through the lens of creativity, Carrie Snow challenges common conceptions about autism and highlights the valuable skills and abilities that autistic people can bring to the table.

This book presents a strengths-based approach, featuring first-person narratives from autistic individuals who share their unique perspectives on navigating life. Snow identifies key qualities of education that are essential for the development of fulfilling lives, healthy identities, promising careers, and creativity in general.

With practical strategies and inclusive curricular ideas, this resource shows educators how to support autistic K-12 students in public, private, and specialized schools. The book also offers visions for a future that values and thrives on the creative contributions of neurodiverse citizens.
