Over the past decade, worldwide Autism, advanced rehabilitation services and research estimates of increase between 50% to over 2000% in cases of Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnoses. The rise in diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder impacts us all. The national prevalence of autism spectrum disorders in India is 1 out of 250 children (Posserud et.al (2010), The Autism Society 2010, Autism speaks (2008) and Wong (2007). The world seeks greater awareness and understanding of the complexities of the condition to provide evidence based rehabilitation interventions to Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The rehabilitation intervention includes Behavioral Management, Cognitive Training, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis, Special Education, Speech & Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Play Therapy, Music Therapy and Parental Counseling. These rehabilitation interventions are evidence based strategies for the accommodation and support to Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families. These rehabilitation interventions cover the major defected areas of social reciprocity, communication and repetitive behaviors of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. There is worldwide concern regarding the inclusiveness of Children with Autism in schools and in class rooms that will comfortably accommodate children with wide-ranging disabilities that include autism. A critical concern of teacher’s responsibility for students learning in the inclusive classroom is their lack of knowledge and understanding of, as well as professional preparation for accommodating the characteristics and needs of students with Autism Spectrum (Bellini et al 2011).
