I agree how important it is to make sure that your classroom space is set up for success for your students. 
I had a student a few years ago whose ABA therapist gave me lots of recommendations of how to set up my classroom; mixing soft materials and hard materials, alternating between high impact and low impact activities and even suggested putting materials in places where the students had to get up and walk (to provide them with a break). It was interesting to see how these changes were beneficial to everyone.]]> 2022-03-12 05:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/macnabe/zbj7l5l6ok8zpzcn/wish/2091398915 ASD manningf11 https://padlet.com/macnabe/zbj7l5l6ok8zpzcn/wish/2091399851 I know that autism spectrum disorder affects different people VERY differently.

The way that ASD presents for a person, as well as the supports that they need, vary greatly. ASD can also affect someone's sensory preferences.
