I had several students who were identified as Autistic and had some behavioral issues. They would struggle with completing tasks of any kind. I used music as a positive behavior support strategy to help them manage their behaviors. They all love music! While using this strategy, I was able to introduce them to different types of music. The students are technologically savvy and love to use their computer/chromebooks. As a way to modify and accommodate the lesson, I would have them to share a song, instrument and artist they enjoy. They were able to search for the information and share it. During the presentation, the accommodation was made for students to present orally or allow me to connect the computer to the projector to show the material they found. Some autistic students may not be very verbal, but they felt really good about sharing information they like and understand. It turned out to be a great lesson and allowed students to see themselves as contributors. |
