I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Challenges of Learning Process for Students with Autism. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The significance of the chosen topic can be explained by a necessity to fill in the research gap in the studies directed on the challenges of the learning process for students with autism. There are many works directed on the study of special learning strategies, worked out for autistic students and there are almost no researches directed on the study of teacher’s role in the learning process of autistic students. This proposal makes an emphasis on the importance of the teacher’s role in the learning process of autistic students and underlines the necessity of an individualistic approach and personal charisma of a teacher. At the same time, there is no necessity to delimit normal students from students with autism. Their talents and creative potentials are equal. Emphasis on teacher’s positive and patient attitude to autistic students can be explained by a strong motivation occurrence in the learning process. The teacher’s positive attitude stimulates autistic students to work hard and keep pace with their group mates. Another strong point is that teacher’s attitude should be formed with regard to special teaching strategies though not turning into a ‘template teaching’. Therefore a combination of general teaching strategies with special teaching strategies. involvement of creative strategies in the learning process and active communication of teacher and students are considered as the most appropriate techniques in teaching autistic students.

Autism is a disorder in the brain, which influences on learning abilities of a student. In accordance with the definition provided by APA (2000), autism is characterized by disorders influencing on communicative and social abilities and behavior of a student. The degree of various behaviors in different spheres of activity differs among autistic individuals (Joshi, 2002). Teachers of autistic students should pay attention to the development of communicative skills (Rao & Gagic, 2006). Teacher-student communication is often disturbed by social prejudices concerning autistic students. They are often treated by teachers like students with less creative potential, talents, etc.
