Your questions answered (and more):
- How do I engage with learners who are reluctant to enter the classroom, engage in group activities, or attempt written work?
- How do I prevent and respond to children running from the room, hiding under the desk, hitting others, or being the ‘playground policeman’?
- What role does sensory sensitivity play for students with autism in the classroom and the playground, and how can we work around this?
- What visual supports and strategies can I use to increase predictability and decrease anxiety?
- How can I include visual learning strategies in my whole class programming, rather than seeing autism strategies as something extra on top of my usual program?
- What can I do with students who don’t talk at all? How can I understand the triggers for their behaviour?
- How can I support high school students to be more independent and take responsibility for their own learning?
- When and how should I teach social skills, and when should we accept that older students have chosen not to spend time with their peers?
- How can I support parents to consider having their child assessed for autism?
- When should a child be told about their diagnosis, and when and how do I explain autism to the rest of the class?
- How can I encourage my fellow staff members to try autism strategies?
