I had a student with Autism who couldn't write on paper. The teacher told me that they adapted their lessons to be more hands-on/interactive. Such as cut outs and match to a picture, or with a question highlighted in a color and answer written in the same color. When trying these systems, I discovered that he COULD write if I gave him a boogie board (LCD digital writing pad). His teacher was ecstatic, and I gave her one of the boogie boards to use in her classroom, until she purchased one later. I still used color systems and cut outs for other activities.

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.
