A Different Way to Learn - The Child's Perspective
A different way to learn - learning from your child's perspective. Bright Tots - Information on child development - Autism information.
Teaching Children with Autism
• A child with autism
LOVES
to be reinforced, but the usual “social reinforcers” may not be meaningful to them in the beginning.
A child with autism is a
Visual Learner
• Teach children through their
visual
“
channel
” is stronger than their auditory “
channel
”.
• For children with autism visual and concrete experiences help them
UNDERSTAND
the meaning of their experiences.
Children with Autism Prefer
Consistent, Predictable
and
Organized Routines
• When teaching children with autism keep it the same
RIGHT FROM THE START
• When things change,
SHOW or TEACH THE CHILD WHAT TO EXPECT
Autistic Children
Understand
and
Process
their environment in a unique way.
• Sometimes, children with autism will organize and remember things in “
CHUNKS
” or “
Wholes
” and have a hard time understanding that the separate “parts” mean.
• It’s sometimes
hard
for children with autism to learn by watching what others around them are doing and saying.
• Since children with autism are not always sure what the “
important
” information is in their experiences, sometimes they'll focus on small “
bits
” of information that may not even be relevant.
• Autistic children almost always have a hard time processing auditory information. For them to understand,
TEACH
or
SHOW
the child what you mean!
• Children with autism are not a fan of “
multi-tasking
”. It’s hard for them to attend to information coming form several “
Channels
” at the same time.
Teach Children with Autism One thing at
a Time!
• Children with autism learn best when skills are broken down into “
bite-sized
” pieces
