Develop a routine for saying good bye to parents or a routine for calming down when emotions are high and feeling uncontrollable. I feel it is very important for children to learn to control these emotions at a young age.
*Intellectual - A quiet, distraction free place for learning. I will use short sentences and phrases and try to always explain things as directly and plainly as possible. I will use easy to follow instruction.
*Learning Disabilities - I will incorporate many different kinds of learning depending on the student needs. I want to use as much hands on learning as possible.
Autism Spectrum Disorder - 
I will ensure assignments are an appropriate manageable length. Incorporate as many social learning opportunities as possible both in class and in public so proper behavior can be learned.
