I’d love a video about how to manage all of these visual supports. A desk can get messy. Older kids in an inclusion model have too much to carry around. Thank you

[@theautismhelper]

I'll add that to my list!

Hi I am a temporary support assistant in the autism classroom at Anne Arundel county public school. We have 3 2nd grade students & 1 4th grade student in the classroom. One of the 2nd grade student sometimes bang on his desk which the 4th grade student says quite to the student or the 4th grade student goes up to the student or either hit the student or squeeze the other student on the face.
I am working with a first time teacher that was only a sub at another school. One of the morning rules is our mouth is quiet. Not sure if the 4th grade student understands it okay to sing during morning meeting.
Can you please tell me advice how I can handle the problem.

[@theautismhelper]

Definitely do an FBA to figure out why the behavior is happening so you know how to help!

Disappointed that autistic children are being defined by “problem behaviors,” rather than, “Supporting our autistic children who are navigating challenging situations.”
Are we merely interested in compliance, or in our children developing social-emotional maturity?
Thank you!

Hi there! By definition, 'problem behaviors' are behaviors that hinder the learning of the child, social relations and communications, and can also cause harm to themselves, their peers, among others. If you watched the full video, you'll see that I never once defined autistic children by their problem behaviors - this video is meant to be a tool to help educators and parents prevent those behaviors before they happen - which includes accessible strategies and social-emotional tools.

This is great! Do you use this, please, with children who are nonverbal, have different mental disability? Or are your kids all verbal and their intelectual abilities are okay?

[@theautismhelper]

Use the same strategies for all students! Adjust the implementation based on skill sets!
