In my autism classes it is important to provide audio and visual resources. Playing a video of a song during clean up helps students remain calm. I have some students with autism that are sensitive to light and sound however, therefore, I have my smartboard on at a medium level and only half of the lights on in the room. We clean up the art materials faster than I would in other classes to avoid students waiting and leaving their seats early.
It's been so important getting to know my students names and seeing how much they improve once they are at a new grade levels. That being said, I need to differentiate and challenge my students with disabilities to accommodate their growth and new capabilities. |
