Abstract

The researchers conducted a literature review of teachers’ knowledge/perceptions and attitudes on the inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). Research was conducted in Google Scholar and databases ERIC and PubMed in order to find the relevant literature, using the following keywords “Teachers”, “Perceptions”, “Attitudes”, “Knowledge”, “General Education Teachers”, “Special Education Teachers”, “Autism”, “Primary teachers”, “Preschool teachers” and “Children with Autism”. From the search, 9 relevant articles were found. Results indicated that the teachers know the autism in a sufficient level and they have positive attitudes on the inclusion of these students. Furthermore, special education teachers and teachers with more experience on autism know better the autism compared to those who have not an experience on autism. In conclusion, teachers need more training programmes on autism.  These programmes may help them to educate effectively these students and they develop positive attitudes on their inclusion.
