Resource library

The Resource library includes descriptions and links to over 100 external publications (books, websites, DVDs etc). To search for a specific topic (for example “classroom strategies”), enter text in the keywords box and click Search. You can narrow your initial search using one of three filter drop-down menus:

  • “Sections” filters the resources in line with the major content sections of the website.
  • “Resources for” filters the resources according to whether they support you to further your learning, to take action, or to explore others’ stories.
  • “Relevant to” filters the resources in line with the topics covered by the subsections of the website.

Once you have searched, “Refine your results” appears on the right-hand side. This allows you to further narrow your search by adding in extra filters.

    See also Paula Kluth's introductory video clip You're Going To Love This Kid!

    You can also find an article by Paula Kluth on “Supporting Students with Autism: 10 Ideas for Inclusive Classrooms” on the Autism Speaks website.

    The title of these resources by renowned educationalist Paula Kluth is indicative of the tone throughout all her work – Kluth loves students with ASD for who they are as unique individuals and for the way they enrich the lives of those around them.

     Reviews of Kluth’s work emphasise the practical nature of the strategies and resources she provides, her commitment to inclusion, and the strong foundation on research. The 2010 book and professional development package include observation forms and checklists that could be used to review your practice and make decisions about what to do. Examples, case studies, and the DVD show that the approaches she suggests do work. They include checklists for auditing aspects of school and classroom practice, including whether the school is inclusive and whether classrooms are comfortable for students with ASD. Advice is provided on how the materials can be used for professional learning, both in the book and in the manual accompanying the DVD.

    Before purchasing a copy of her resources, you may like to access a copy on loan from Autism New Zealand and/or view the video clips available on the Internet. The introductory video is available here, but you can also find other extracts by typing in the words “You're going to love this kid!” and “DVD”.

    One of the features of Paula’s website is a set of readings on ASD, inclusive schooling, differentiated instruction, and literacy.
