Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         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 would incorporate affective lessons that help to develop social skills. The affective lesson can be incorporated into the social studies and science lessons. A lesson could focus on one social skill at at time until the student with autism has mastered the skill. Collaborate with the students other teachers so that he is receiving the affective lesson in each subject and is allowed to work on the social skill throughout the day.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think affective lessons are the best solutions for this case.
