Tips for Teaching Autistic Children Reading Skills
Learning to read should be fun for any child, but when it comes to autistic children, you have to reach them on their level, so make sure you chose a method that meets their needs.
The KidTools Support System (KTSS) is a federally-funded project to provide performance support software for children, ages 7-13, who have learning disabilities and/or emotional and behavioral problems. The KTSS software includes a library of tools provided as easy-to-use templates for children to personalize and use independently in school and home settings.

The KidTools program includes template tools to assist children in self-management, problem solving, and making plans and contracts. KidSkills includes organizational and planning tools and a variety of learning strategies. Accompanying databases for adults, Tool Resources and Skill Resources, provide tool overviews, examples of completed tools, and tips for implementation. Software is presently available in CD format and in downloadable versions from this web site. Orientation materials, practice activities, implementation videos, discussion lists, and user supports are provided for adults who assist children in learning and using these tools.
KTSS is a collaborative project between the University of Missouri-Columbia <http://www.missouri.edu/> , and California University of Pennsylvania. <http://www.cup.edu/>
