Case: Non Verbal Autistic Student
Mrs. H has a non verbal autistic student who will take part in some assessments soon involving analysis of previous academic work. The student refuses all academic assignments but has no behavior issues in the self contained classroom. How can Mrs. H develop a portfolio of assignments for possible assessment data when the student refuses all efforts?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I worked with a nonverbal autistic set of twins a few years ago. It was difficult to get the students to do any type of academic assignments, but I found that one student LOVED to get on the computer. The other one was into wrestling. I used the things these students like to get them to work for me. I would give them time to do the things they liked to do, after they did what I asked them to do. It took a while to put this system in place, but it worked. |

Comments: I agree with this solution. I have found that a lot of times, students will work for you if you offer them something they like (computer time, drawing time, games, etc.), or they will work for you if you relate the problems to them. I also worked with a nonverbal autistic student for a year before I got my teaching job, and I would show him an "If...Then" board in order to accomplish his academic work for the day. He loved to swing, loved water, and loved to be bare-footed, so I took a picture of the swing set on the playground, took a picture of some water in a plastic tub/container, and I took a picture of his bare feet to use for the 'then' part of the board. Nine times out of ten, he would complete the task on the 'if' part to get to the 'then' part. I have also used file-folder games to work with special needs and low performing students- these games focus on things they need to learn academically, they are just made for their level of thinking. |

Comments: By getting students like these we can reduce their anxiety and often times help them learn without them realizing it. This is also a form of incentive. |
