I have had many student present and past with autism. I have found that there is no one solution that works for all students on the spectrum. I have had to get to know what works specifically for that individual. Aides and classroom teachers have always been a great resource to help work out a strategy for each student. Since they have them all day and I only see them once per week, they have spent more hours with a student and can help work out an issue, strategy, or even how to work through frustration. I had a student in third grade playing recorders and was doing great. In the middle of the school they changed the schedule and the entire class was moved to another music teacher on staff. This only promoted frustration in the student and he would get violet and throw the instruments. The administration decided to move that class back to me and take a different class and the student settled back in with no violet outbursts. Change was not good for that particular student. |
