When I taught high school band , I had a flute player . He was a very brilliant young man who was ASD. His case was not as severe as others. He was very bright. He always wanted to do the right thing. As a flute player , he can learn as well as the other students. One of the things I have done is have him practice his part in repetition until he got the part right. When he becomes frustrated , I calmed him down and confirmed that everything was fine. I felt compelled to protect him from the other students who would make fun of him because of his disability. One coping strategy I shared with him was to avoid the peers who would attempt to degrade him. I have always been compassionate with students with disabilities because I have been where they have been.
