I recently had an 8th grade student with aspergers.
He was made fun of constantly and was not able to handle the ridicule.
After a few months I noticed that he was very talented playing the violin but his social interactions got in the way of his progress.
My solution was to meet with him 1 on 1 in the mornings before class. He then began to make terrific progress and some of the other students began to respect him more.
I also found a student who was accepting of his behaviour and had him sit next to that student as a stand partner.
Today he is in 9th grade and although he no longer is my student, he is making terrific progress in school. He is a wiz at computers and setting up and diagnosing sound systems. He is our school D.J. |
