Keeping routines and interactions as predictable as possible will likely foster security and reduce stress for students.

How to Support Student Voices

Utilization of digital and AI resources to give students of all functions an opportunity to be heard

Don't put unwanted pressure on others

2024-11-07 02:47:17 UTC

I think that trying to get people on the same exact page can be stressing and unnerving for some students who may not feel as capable or maybe take things a bit more slow. Making sure students can go at their own pace is the best for a comfortable learning environment

How to support a need for routine

2024-11-07 02:47:34 UTC

It is important to maintain a routine with children with autism. This helps maintain predictability because they do not prefer novelty. It will help with structure and balance and aid their understanding in what is to be expected if it continually being done.

Allow students to stim if they have to, possibly provide fidget toys

Large, open space

Provide noise canceling headphones if needed.

Be aware of student needs - don't be judgy or try to "fix" them.

For early childhood, including an area for students to go and calm down when they are starting to feel overstimulated

One Size Fits All

Not all accommodations are going to work for all students. Especially because Autism is a spectrum, it's more important to communicate with the student to discuss what they need to succeed in class.

Having classroom materials that help students stay focused . For example, fidgeting toys or wiggle seats.

Using multimodal learning is helpful and beneficial, because it gives students another opportunity to learn the material in a way that best suits them.

I think combining an inclusive environment that can adapt to small groups and having seats they can wiggle into and headphones.

How to accommodate for Autistic students.

2024-11-07 02:56:41 UTC

Keep it short and clear: Use simple words and phrases to explain what to do, like “Take out your book” or “Sit and listen to the teacher.” Avoid using too many descriptive or complex sentences.

Repeat keywords: Emphasize the main points. For example, if you are teaching them to organize items, repeat the word “organize” several times so they understand the focus.

Pair instructions with actions: Use simple actions or gestures while speaking, like pointing to where they should go or making a “sit down” motion. This can help them understand better.

Flexible Workspaces: Allow for personalized, low-stimulus spaces where sensory sensitivities can be managed. This might include access to quiet rooms or workstations with soft lighting.
Sensory Aids: Provide resources such as noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, or access to sensory breaks to help manage sensory input throughout the day.
