Ms. Shine's Classroom Structure
Teacher website http://www.autism4teachers.com/
Children with autism respond well to structure. It gives them a safe and warm environment. This fills their understanding and ability to succeed.
* The teacher should have a separate area for independent work, one on one, group work, quiet reading, play and etc.
* Every area should have visuals displayed in the area. Having visuals displayed will keep children from being disturbed by others. The visuals should show the different areas like, the play, computer, reading, and math areas in the classroom.
I believe children with autism need structure. My cousin's son has autism and it takes a very special teacher to work with these children day in and day out. I know that autism children need visuals and they need calming places. They don't like alot of activity or loud noises. They do need a calm and quiet place to calm down. So having an area for quiet is excellent. I also know sometimes they need a spot with padded walls to they can not hurt themselves or anyone else
