Context: High School, Reading Resource, the class is designed to help kids make improve reading comprehension skills.

I am gaining a student who has autism in the fall. He cannot write full sentences to answer questions. He does not speak in partial or full sentences, so it is no surprise to me that he cannot write in full sentences. He can verbally come up with nouns like "shirt ... blue" in response to a picture. I am familiar with ABA and such practices to teach these kiddos, unfortunately they seem to never make enough progress to work the programs and those that do, well, teachers and SLPs tend to pull support too soon.

So, I am wondering if anybody out there has had any specific success with them and what methods were used. I may not be able to have him re-assigned and if that happens, I want to put a good curriculum together for a TA to work with him.

Thanks so much for your help.
