9 General Intervention Tricks!

I reached out to a few Resource teachers who’ve been in the field for each around 10-15 years about things that they’ve had to ask a mainstream teacher with for aiding students with a smoother transition into their classrooms. Here’s some of what they have given me!

Here are the Top 9 Integration Strategies for Students with Autism (Across Subjects):

1. Consistency of rules and routine
2. Have students have the same place they turn in/are given back assignments
3. Use clear, simple, unambiguous language
4. Write the directions down on the white board/have numerous places for students to see directions
5. Sit them closer to the teacher, away from doors, windows and distractions
6. Give the student a personal work station for when noises and other distractions disrupt work
7.  Direct questions (and frequent monitoring) of students work, understanding, and pace.
8.  Give students enough time to understand the materials/complete
9.  Model the desired behavior.

All the lists of intervention and integration tips and tricks have come from a collaboration of 5 Special Educators who have told me I am allowed to publish this. They have asked to not be disclosed, but I am beyond grateful for their help!
