To thee out yonder, I pledge my love

Stretched like the mighty oak,

Tan'ed like the rushing river,

Thine splendour maketh my heart ache.

His soft start could be eating breakfast in classroom.

May need to factor in a quiet rest to his timetable if he is regularly falling asleep.

Find items which mimic crisp bag sound and wash out some to keep in a fidget /calming box for him.

Preferred SNA could be assigned during his tearful transition into classroom.

Use Attention Autism to maximise his joint attention capacity.

Ear defenders could be offered at yard times.

Jayden doesn’t like to eat breakfast early in the morning. We could set up a breakfast table in the classroom and have breakfast with him.

He enjoys cause and effect games so we could play fun interactive games with him and build on his ability to engage in games.

2024-08-15 09:23:30 UTC

Set up a breakfast club for whole class initially one day a week.

When he takes the hands of a person to communicate, always respond positively and consistently

Bring Jayden to a quiet calm area with a beanbag when he is exhausted and allow him to rest so he can participate in activities later.

Use the cause and effect toys to build relationships with peers. Taking turns , shared attention.

He is tearful coming to school, so helping that transition by initiating a visual schedule from home so he knows who will be in the taxi and who he will meet at school and his first activity when he arrives.

Building relationships with Matt

Use his interest in animals to teach many curriculum areas
Maybe use his creative skills and enjoyment of comic strips to make posters around the class instead of printing straight from twinkl or other sites
To regulate on the bus- put together a playlist of songs Matt likes and let him listen to them on the way to school
Ask Matt what helps him to organise things and try and setup activities/organisation tasks in this way- trial and error
Make up checklists as he likes using them
