Abstract/Notes: This article explores some of the literature concerning the effectiveness of the Montessori educational approach for children with ASC within an English school context. Firstly, there is a discussion, including a short historical review, regarding the ideology of inclusion and how it has impacted upon mainstream education. Also, how this can be facilitated using play-based approaches such as Montessori. Secondly, various models of disability are identified in order to highlight how they have informed societal attitudes towards people with disabilities. There is a brief history of ASC detailing how a child with this disability may be affected on a daily basis and the effectiveness of alternative play-based educational approaches such as Montessori in helping children with ASC to develop the appropriate skills they need in order to self-regulate and thus modify their behaviour. Furthermore, the value of play-based curriculums in supporting a child diagnosed with ASC throughout the learning process is also evaluated. The summary highlights the need for more evidence-based studies to be undertaken in order to assess whether the Montessori approach is a valid alternative in teaching pre-school children with ASC.

Abstract/Notes: L’histoire de l’autisme connaît une actualité brûlante qui requiert l’attention partagée du clinicien. Cette historiographie complexe poursuit son écriture de l’autisme en cascades à mesure du travail d’archives et de l’analyse critique des textes originaux. Se précisent ainsi les concepts sur lesquels s’appuie la clinique des auteurs dès les origines de la psychiatrie de l’enfant. Les débats scientifiques s’en nourrissent à chaque époque afin d’aboutir à un état de l’art renouvelé où l’autisme reste une construction conceptuelle organisatrice de la psychiatrie de l’enfant et de l’adolescent. [The history of autism involves a burning issue that requires attention from clinicians. This complicated historiography continues the writing on cascading autism alongside archival work and textual criticism. Since the origins of child psychiatry, theoreticians’ practice has leaned on even-sharper clinical concepts, which have fed scientific debates over time, resulting in a renewed state of the art. Autism remains an organizing conceptual entity of child and adolescent psychiatry in statu nascendi.]

Abstract/Notes: Madam Montessori believed that training and sharpening of the child’s senses are crucial for their continued learning; she, therefore, developed specific sensorial materials to be used in Montessori preschools for such a purpose. The Montessori Method of education is a system of education for young children that seeks to spread natural interests and activities rather than use formal teaching methods. Maria Montessori exhibited Various Teaching-Learning Aids for refining the senses called sensorial materials. Sensorial training/learning is a teaching approach that stimulates the child’s five senses; taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing. It allows children to use their senses to explore and understand the world around them. It includes activities that assist them to study objects, colors, textures, tastes, numbers, and situations. This article addresses the knowledge and understanding needed by teachers working with children on the autism spectrum. Montessori methods are very operative in developing effective teaching-learning aid for sensory training. Effective practice depends largely on an understanding of autism and of the individual child rather than on specialist skills. It will explain how children with autism develop the sensory issues in various Teaching-Learning Aids and to boost children express, classify and enlarge their sensory experiences with the help of the Montessori Method.
