Tips and Tricks for Transition

The day to day transitions in single subject schools is something I, myself have personally struggled with. It’s quite overwhelming and a lot to remember, here’s some tips and tricks I have used/found helpful for students with Autism!

Tips and Tricks for Aiding with Class Transitions

 (for middle and high school students.)

• Walk their schedule during orientation/before the first day of school, explain every step out and allow them to get a feel for the school.
• Show them the areas that will support them (Ex: where is the office of the school? School nurse? And all help offered on campus.)
• Provide a written detailed schedule (make sure to have everything on it! Time of class, location, teacher name.)
• If possible, have them meet their teachers
• Utilize a daily log to communicate in behavioral, academic and social progress. (between the teachers and parents and students.) It’s best if you stay OPEN with all parties involved.

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!
