One teacher in an inclusion classroom asks: How can I attend to all the children’s needs not just the autistic child’s in an inclusion classroom?
This is such a great question! It is exceedingly difficult for teachers today to meet the needs of each individual student in an inclusion classroom today. If it is not possible for the school to provide the student an aid, the teacher will have to make do with what she has available to her.
A couple ideas:
- Learn all you can about Autism so you can better understand how to help the student
- Teach small groups while the rest of the class completes seat work or participates in centers so that she can focus on just a small group at one time.
- Enlist the help of a couple of students to be teachers helpers or buddies to the student with Autism.
