One way of doing this is by providing the child with more opportunities to communicate during his day at school (Chiang, 2009) so that his skills are polished. Similarly social skills can also be enhanced in children with ASD through research-based practice by using techniques of inovling them in social activities, by relying on peer involvement and through a number of other intervention approaches (Haring, T
Although training the teachers is an important step so that the teachers are well aware about their duties and their roles towards the children with disabiltiites, it is a challenge for the school.

The child's sensory needs could be accommodated and an occupational therapist could greatly help in suggesting the ways in which these needs could be met. However, this difficulty can be eased by providing visual aid as suggested previously in order to minimize the difficulity with the auditory processing in a child with autism (Hodgdon, 1995)

The different school personnel focus on the several facets of communication. These include the psychologists at the school, the special speech therapist and the teachers (Locke, W
This is possible through a well planned educational setup where children can learn to deal and thereby do well with their behavioral impairments. These educational approaches must focus on providing unique learning strategies whereby which children are able to learn (McCabe, H
However, these laws must have been formulated but are not completely implemented at several places. In contrast, there are many institutes which are providing the best learning environment for children with autisim and this is obvious from the increased improvement in the child (McClannahan, L
Regardless of the provisions and the formulation of laws, these classrooms are in actual quite overcrowded having children of different ages with various different needs. Regardless of the fact that the special education teachers have a more idea and training about educating children with difficulties as compared to the general education teacher, it is quite difficult for the special education teacher to cover the curriculum with having a number of different students to deal with (Melisa, D

Emotional support can be given in the form of expressing trust and confidence in the abiltities of the child, by rewarding and acknowledging his efforts and by showing interest in his life and routine activities.
