Re: Starting a new class/ Suggestions

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I've just been hired to teach an Autistic preschool class. It will begin in

a week starting with 3 boys who just turned three years old. It will be their

first preschool experience.

Does anyone have any suggestions about beginning a new class. Techniques,

Procedures, Ideas etc.

Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated. I want to do the best job

possible. You all have such great advice.

I'd recommend as much structure as possible. A schedule that details their day

with pictures helps, and a clutter-free environment. These work for any

preschooler in my opinion (I'm a typical preschool teacher). Other than that,

it mostly depends on the various needs of your little guys, especially when it

comes to their current communication levels and sensory deficits. And if their

are typicals in your classroom as well. Hope this helps.
