How to Teach Children With Mild Autism

[Guest guest]

Here's some tips on teaching autistic children:

1. First of all, you need to know that every child with autism is different, you

have to find out their likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. Let the child

guide you at first. Start with what the child can do and build on what the child

can not do. Tie the subject you are teaching to the child's interests as often

as possible.

2. Children with autism have difficulty in using language, they tend to be

visual learners and auditory learners. You can use PEC cards, flash cards,

letter tiles and social stories for teaching visual learners. Auditory learners

work best with audio tapes, cds, videos, lectures, communication devices and

music. Here's an article about how to make flashcards for autitic children.

3. It's important to follow the schedule strictly, because a break in the daily

schedule of autistic children will seriously ruin their day.

4. Do a multisensory approach. Work on patterns, use colored blocks and string

patterns ect.

5. Music has been proven to help kids with autism learn.

6. You need to have lots of patience, speak slowly and clearly and if the child

does not answer or respond then say it again in a different way until he does.

Build up to new things a little at a time, until you build up to him mastering

the behavior. Be repetitive.

7. There is some books that helps parents: Great Ideas for Teaching or Raising

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders; Ten Things Your Student With Autism

Wishes You Knew & amp; Ten Things Every Child With Autism Wishes You Knew by

award winning author Ellen Notbohm.

8. Make learning fun by giving lots of praise when the child is doing well.

9. Get some help either by a regional center or your local school district, that

can refer your kid for some services.

10. Learn about Sensory Issues. Sensory issues are one of the biggest problems

in autistic children.

Hope this is helpful!
