UK - Education - Working with autistic children

Autistic childen at Millfields Autism Resource Base listen to a special storeyteller who is using a fluffy toy to narrate a story. This is a special unit at Millfields Community School for children with autistic spectrum disorders. The school has a strong policy of 'inclusion' having children with special needs in mainstream schools, with appropriate support . This is a large inner-city primary school with 604 children on its roll. It is a happy and high achieving school despite significant levels of poverty among many of its families and the fact that more than 74% of the pupils speak English as an additional language. Children from many racial and cultural backgrounds have been successfully integrated and a large number of Muslim children (around 40% of the pupils) attend the school. It has been hailed as 'a national leader' for raising educational standards. (Photo by Gideon Mendel/Corbis via Getty Images)
