Abstract

Nineteen resource and self-contained classes for 99 children with autism spectrum disorders have been opened in Nizhny Novgorod region over the past two years.     The article considers the models of inclusive education organization: "resource class" and "self-contained class" for these students. The factors influencing the choice between the considered models are analyzed, the data of surveys of parents of children with autism spectrum disorders, identifying their needs and requests are given. The article discusses the educational conditions of 54 students in resource and self-contained classes who have completed their first year. An analysis of the level of parents' and teachers' satisfaction with the educational process and the results achieved is given on the basis of their surveys. Based on two years of experience, a step-by-step algorithm for preparing for the opening of resource and self-contained classes was developed. The suggested algorithm can be useful for opening new classes, including in other regions.
