Axel Cortes is a fifth grader with autism who is non-verbal and exhibited significant behavioural challenges when he arrived at school. Axel came to Idelhurst Elementary School in Somersworth, NH during his 5th grade year from another school where he was exclusively in self-contained settings and was being taught preschool/kindergarten level. Through effective implementation of supports -- including AAC, UDL, RtI, social stories, visual schedules and positive behavioural supports -- Axel was able to learn 5th grade general education curriculum in a general education classroom within a few months. His challenging behaviours also decreased, and he thrived through interaction and engagement with 'typical' peers. Once Axel had an effective means of communication, the staff found that Axel was bilingual and bi-literate (his family speaks Spanish at home).
