This paper provides an overview of the educators working with children with autism spectrum disorders who are included in a separate group of regular kindergarten from the student’s perspective. The work includes basic information about the child, educational interventions and the teacher’s intervention during daily activities. There aren’t many case study and examples best practice of working with children with disabilities in regular institutions of early and preschool education in Croatian literature, especially from the student’s perspective.

Hospitalization of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is a challenge for paediatric nurses. The literature reveals a lack of knowledge among the clinical and behavioural characteristics of autism. The aim of the study is to investigate the knowledge of paediatric nurses about ASDs and their experience with children with ASD. Ninety-three nurses completed Knowledge About Childhood Autism Among Healthcare Workers questionnaire, a sociodemographic questionnaire and an open-ended questionnaire to evaluate the experience of nurses. Findings showed that nurses have a basic knowledge of ASD, except for comorbidity and onset of the ASD, in which they obtained lower scores. Older nurses and those who had more experience in a paediatric ward or with children with ASD showed higher scores. Analysis of the content of open-ended questionnaire showed that nurses have difficulties in managing the relationship with children with ASD, and that they wonder about how to improve it, seeking useful strategies for this purpose. During interactions, nurses experience mixed feelings such as sadness, suffering, uneasiness, inadequacy, displeasure, embarrassment and tenderness. They declare the need for more knowledge about ASD. They would like to improve their own capacity for interactions with these children, also through training.

This descriptive study evaluates the speech disfluencies of 8 verbal children between 3 and 5 years of age with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Speech samples were collected for each child during standardized interactions. Percentage and types of disfluencies observed during speech samples are discussed. Although they did not have a clinical diagnosis of stuttering, all of the young children with ASD in this study produced disfluencies. In addition to stuttering-like disfluencies and other typical disfluencies, the children with ASD also produced atypical disfluencies, which usually are not observed in children with typically developing speech or developmental stuttering.
