(PDF) Curriculum adaptations for children with Asperger syndrome

Boys and girls with Asperger syndrome need an educational response that takes into account their characteristics and needs. This response is developed within the framework of an individualized curricular adaptation. The practical application that I am going to present describes specific guidelines for action with these students.

The socio-affective development and communication skills of these children are usually two of the most affected areas. Their behavior is usually characterized by the following features:

  • Excessive concern about certain topics, which is abnormal due to its intensity or content (for example, they may memorize car license plates, telephone lists, etc.)
  • They tolerate changes more. In non-routine activities they may feel confused and less structured environments are difficult for them.
  • Motor stereotypies.
  • Significant disorder in many non-verbal communication behaviors.
  • Difficulty relating to peers, if not following routine and learned guidelines.
