Autism i skolan : Hur en skola är tillgänglig för elever med autism

Sammanfattning: My purpose of this study is to investigate whether elementary school is available for students with the disability of autism. If the school is just as accessible for students with autistic syndrome as for students with asperger syndrome, or if the school is marked by equal treatment. I think this is important to highlight since I think it´s a deficiency in the school's accessibility for certain students, and dilemmas occurs regarding students in need of support. In order to provide a validated result according to me, I decided to conduct interviews with a few employees and ask all of them the same questions. The interviews I conducted was performed anonymously. However, all of them are from the same school, in order to achieve such a clear result as possible. The interviews have the nominated posts: principal, special education teacher, counselor, school nurse, teacher, leisure educator, recreation leader and teachers in the special needs school. My selection fell upon these persons since I wanted to interview the principal, student health team and some possible people who interacts with student health team regarding these issues.   As a result, I received the answers to all the issues and got confirmation of my purpose. There is a shortage of school availability for students in need of support. The school can not with their current circumstances live up to the pursuit of a school for everybody and be able to reach all students. All the persons I interviewed are aware of that. Most of them did not believe that inclusion is a good solution for either the individual in need of support, the other students, or the teacher. Because the teacher is not able to reach all students and everybody's needs can not be met. But the individuals are welcome to be included with the availability of resources and the opportunity to personally leave the classroom if necessary. The school is available for students with autism, but not enough. Although this school is struggling with the dilemma between equality and to categorize pupils to give them special support. This dilemma is the underlying reason for why the aim for it to be a school for everybody is not met.
