Abstract

The successful inclusion of children with autism is a recent trend. This is the story of Abby, a 6-year-old girl with autism who has had successful educational experiences with her peers. The case study was written collaboratively with Vicki, her mother. Three main points are stressed in the article: (a) the importance of getting to know the child's unique strengths, abilities, and special needs; (b) the impact of a positive attitude, inservice training for staff, and involvement of teachers, therapists, and support staff in team planning; and (c) the benefits of parent involvement in the inclusion setting. The story of Abby's inclusion experience can be instructive and inspiring in providing educators and parents with ideas for making inclusion a success for autistic children.
