Appropriate Educational Placements for Children with Asperger’s Syndrome The author Tony Attwood would like to stress that appropriate educational placement must also be based on a comprehensive assessment of the child’s abilities, in particular their social reasoning skills, and subsequently the careful selection of an appropriate educational setting, access to expertise, information, individual support and the development of a team approach.
