Think-Pair-Share Model is great for students with ASD to reflect on what has been said and then share it with one other person, so this reduces their anxiety about groups.
It is important for teachers to maintain routine/structure, be clear and consise, have auditory and visual reminders for students.
There are many approaches to supports Autism students that can be applied without disrupting the goal of the class.
I like the idea of increasing visual graphic, structured, and even the think-pair-share technique.
Think about how you are communicating with your students- be specific, break tasks down.
I learned that it doesn't take major restructuring to accommodate students on the spectrum. I will apply the structure and accommodations needed to create a safe learning environment for all students.
