The Autism Nest Model: An Inclusive Education Framework for Autistic Children

The Autism Nest Model is a successful and much-praised program adopted by the New York City public school system as well as the top-ranked Danish school system. It has engaged and educated autistic children and their neurotypical peers for more than 20 years. The book's change in title from The ASD Nest Model to The Autism Nest Model is indicative of the evolution not only of language but also the understanding and practice that the new edition reflects. Although the Nest Model is designed for use in grades K-12, this book focuses on the elementary version, which serves students in K-5th grade.

The Nest Model helps schools create settings in which all children engage comfortably and successfully. Its comprehensive approach is lauded by families, students, teachers, therapists and school leaders alike. By laying out the process of developing the model, its philosophy, strategies, and practical examples, The Autism Nest Model is now available to a wide audience.
