In recent years, the number of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses has increased. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2007), 1 in 150 children are estimated to have autism and, according to many states, ASD is considered an epidemic. The problem with these numbers is how to teach these children emotionally in the best academic environment. In 2005-2006, it was reported that 31% of students with autism were placed in general education classes and approximately 40% in segregated classes, generally referred to as autism support classes (U.S. Department of Education, 2007) . Typically, the student will be placed in an Autism Support (AS) room, as the general education room is not the least restrictive environment for this child. Most children with severe and pervasive disabilities need a classroom that will start at their unique skill level. Children need to learn numerous and diverse behavioral changes, probably different in each of their cases, which cumulatively would enable each child to enter and benefit from the general program. Assigning autistic children who do not possess these skills to the regular public school classroom is subjecting them to regression. (Baer, ​​​​2005, p.9) I had the opportunity to discover how a support class for autistic people works. More importantly, I was able to visualize some of the techniques used on a daily basis. During the 2009-2010 school year, I worked as a therapeutic support staff (TSS) in Mrs. F's kindergarten autism support class. During the current school year (2010), I became a Blended Case Manager (BCM), where I also had the opportunity to visit Mrs. F's class every two weeks. Over the past year and ...... middle of paper ...... challenge behavioral barriers his students may face. As a school psychologist, it will be important and beneficial to have training in behavior modification to ensure that my future students will feel comfortable during my time with them. In addition, after spending many moments with Ms. FI, I saw how to manage my time effectively and different ways to handle certain administrative situations that may arise. In conclusion, my time in the kindergarten autistic support room opened my eyes, to say the least. I have a greater understanding and respect for these children and these teachers. I have seen many teachers and aides in my work as a case manager, but I have not seen a better teacher than Ms. F. I have been fortunate and fortunate to work with such an experienced professional in the field to help me lay the foundation for my future. role of school psychologist.
