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!) First of all it is important to remember that students with autism have issues with social interaction and are often times very introverted, it is the nature of the disability. To begin I would work one on one with the student while the rest of the class is working in groups, reinforcing positive behaviors and working through negative behaviors. If the student needs time alone do not push him/her to keep working with you or a partner because this will only continue the anxiety of working with someone else. As the student becomes comfortable working with you, introduce him/her to a student that will work well with the autistic student. Gradual release can be very beneficial in cases like this. Stay positive and be patient. |
