I had a kindergarten student with autism who was functioning, but could not communicate in a way that others around her communicated. The way she was able to communicate was through art and music. I could see her abilities and knowledge through what she produced during art and music time. Eventually she was placed in a cluster and was able to produce more of her knowledge in a smaller, structured setting. |

Tools and Strategies

There are so many strategies that are beneficial to special needs students, within the classroom. What is wonderful, the strategies used for these students will also be beneficial to the general education students along side them.
One strategy is graphic organizers. This will help students really break down the topic and skill. The student will be able to see the big idea broken down into little chunks of information. Additionally, when the students interact with the graphic organizer, they will hold onto the information.
Another strategy used is peer partners. I have used this strategy many times, especially with students who ate autistic. These students benefit from a model who will guide them through routines. They can also help with assignments and pacing. |
