  Case: Cooperative Groups and Uncooperative Students
I have a student with autism who comes into my classroom for social studies and science each day. He has a very difficult time working with others and getting along. If he loses at something or someone does something better than him, he has a meltdown. This has made it very difficult to do any group work in social studies and science. What are some solutions to help him better get along with his peers and able to work in cooperative groups?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I also have an autistic student in my classroom and have worked with autistic children for two years now. The first thing that I would recommend you to do this for this student is to work in the group with them at least one time. By working in the group with them, you can model positive behavior and correct negative behaviors that the student is doing. I would then give the student some type of positive reinforcement to motivate them to want to work well with the other members of the group. For example, you can give computer time or extended time doing something that the student likes to do to positively reinforce them.
