Students with Disabilities

I have a student who is ASD. He refuses to work most of the time. I have had to learn to adapt what we are doing so that he is interested in it. I have found that if he is interested what we are doing, he will work. If I do not adapt his work then I will more than likely not get much from him. I have also implemented "break" times for him. When he is feeling overwhelmed or needs a break he holds up a card on his desk that says break. I then set my timer for 2 minutes and he can choose to move to the library with all of our comfy pillows or stay at his seat until the timer goes off. Once the timer goes off he goes back to working. |

I use smart board technology in my class. All of my students really enjoy using it but my student who is ASD really enjoys it when I ask him to come to the board and help us fill out a graphic organizer etc. |

I have a child with ASD. I have learned that he doesn't like writing down his answers, so I let him draw what he wants to answer the question. I then have him explain to me his drawing and I grade it based on his explanation and drawing of his answer. |
