| Résumé : |
This study addressed the effective, ethical inclusion of pupils with autism, aged 5 to 7 years, in mainstream education.It evaluated a group intervention designed to enable both class teachers and teaching assistants to use Intensive Interaction daiiy within the classroom. A multi-strategy approach was used, which included structured observations, focus groups and questionnaires. Data analysis showed that pupils and staff enjoyed the intervention and that it was effective in developing their relationships and social communication. However, it was found to be impractical due to staff busyness in response to the demands of the National Curriculum. The study concluded that changes are needed in the preparedness, deployment and practice of staff to create communication enabling classroom environments. A pedagogical style that combines reciprocal responsiveness with intrinsically motivating learning activities for ail children was recommended, within a more flexible approach to the National Curriculum, in preference to additional interventions for chiidren with autism.
