Concerns
1. Students who have Autism often have difficulty with social situations. 2. Though they are often very capable of understanding curriculum, they have trouble with verbal and nonverbal communication. 3. Will I be able to get the technology supplies I need to help my students become better learners.

Suggestions
1. Remember that it is okay if their lessons are different than other students'. It will help them succeed if the lessons are based on their capabilities. 2. Instead of having my students work together to dissect an animal, I could find an interactive website where they could do this on their own. 3. Apply for any grants possible to help get the technologies in my classroom!
