84. Breaking Down Barriers In Teaching Students With Autism


Listen Later

Breaking down barriers starts with small shifts, big heart, and the belief that every child deserves to thrive.

In this empowering episode, we explore what it really takes when it comes to teaching students with autism—with real-life strategies, heartfelt stories, and a whole lot of teacher-to-teacher encouragement.

We sit down with educator and author Eliza Rudston, whose book Confidently Teach Students with Autism is already making waves in classrooms across the country. Eliza shares the moment that inspired her work, the lessons that surprised her, and the tools that help teachers feel more confident and capable every day.

In this episode, we explore:

  • What autism is and why it’s important to understand


  • Practical strategies for teaching students with autism


  • Common classroom barriers—and how to break through them


  • The role of peers in creating inclusive learning environments


  • Resources to support you on your inclusion journey


Whether you're just beginning or looking to deepen your knowledge, this episode will give you the tools and mindset shifts to feel empowered when teaching students with autism.

Rainbows ahead,
 Alisha and Ashleigh
