55 Essential Skills for Students on the Autism Spectrum is the culmination of 10 years of research and development at the Neuro-Linguistic Learning Center in Northern California.

Neuro-Linguistic Learning Center was founded in 2006 by Gerald Hughes with the single mission, to help students, teens, and adults in overcoming the effects of Dyslexia, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

Out of this mission a number of programs were developed including the 55 Essential Skills for Students on the Autism Spectrum.

These skills and strategies are founded upon the natural abilities and sensory profiles of students who are or may be diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

This guide is NOT designed for “normal” or neurotypical students. It is specifically designed to address the unique Sensory Perception and Processing issues common to ADHD/ASD students.

THE 55 Essential Skills for Students on the Autism Spectrum are easily self-administered by teens and adults.

Younger students are easily coached through the program by a parent or teacher.
In working with ADHD/ASD students and adults for the past 15 years, it became clear that, as a group, ADHD/ASD students tend to perceive and process sensory information very differently than neurotypical students.

As a group, ADHD/ASD students tend to have different strengths and weakness than neurotypical students.

It follows that many ADHD/ASD students require a different approach to learning.
Unfortunately, virtually all textbooks and curriculum are designed for neurotypical students.

Further complicating the issue is that in a typical classroom with a heterogenous population, it is highly unlikely that ADHD/ASD students will receive instruction appropriate to their specific sensory needs.

Neither are they likely to be taught skills and strategies appropriate to their sensory profiles and natural abilities.

Experience has shown us that the lack of these essential skills is the source of many ASD struggles.

Conversely, when these essential skills are provided, most struggles are resolved and replaced with success.

55 Essential Skills for Students on the Autism Spectrum is designed to address the struggles commonly experienced by many ADHD/ASD students.

It is important to note that 55 Essential Skills for Students on the Autism Spectrum is NOT a medical text. There is NOTHING in this text that is intended to diagnose or fix or cure any medical issue.

There is nothing within this text that would take the place of competent medical advice. If you suspect a medical, psychological, or neurological issue, you should see a licensed professional.

55 Essential Skills for Students on the Autism Spectrum has one purpose and one purpose only—to provide struggling students with the basic skills to make learning easier, faster, and more fun.

Understand that most of these strategies are NOT about spoon-feeding students, modifying the curriculum or providing any special accommodations.

Unlike tutoring programs that rely on the skills of the teacher or tutor (or parent), these skills and strategies are designed to put the power of learning in the hands of students.

Relax and allow the exercises to create a new relationship to education and learning.
Let go, have fun, and trust the process.

As always, we at the NLC are always happy to answer any questions and offer our assistance when requested.
