Organization

Something a lot of teachers forget is that students with Autism thrive in a well organized classroom, but struggle with creating their own. These are some tips and tricks from Special Educational Teachers in the field!


Organization Tips and Tricks:


  • Provide a daily planner for what students need to accomplish each day (Do not be afraid to put all events into this planner such as time to wake up, eat, transportation major school activities and times etc.)
  • Provide assertion, spatial, order and procedural support and tasks to keep students on task
  • Repeat instructions/have numerous places for the students to look. (Ex: a visual schedule on the board as well as one on their desk.)
  • Intersperse less desired activities with more desired ones (Ex: use a student interest as an award for doing the work asked of them)
  • Give examples, be clear and specific with your expectations on work (also suppling an explicit example.)
  •  Keep a predictable schedule/daily routine
  • Introduce changes slowly, giving numerous warnings (Also give a que word/plan of action for how to deal with the changes.)



DISCLAIMER:
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!
