Today I am talking about things that I have learned from my autistic students. It’s Autism Acceptance Month and I wanted to share some reflections that I have had with working alongside my Autistic students.Many of the lessons I have learned has helped me serve all my students better, but I wanted to highlight specifically what I have learned from supporting the Autistic community.

Functional communication is more important than academic skills.

Share what they can do with the team rather than always focusing on what they can’t do.

It takes a team to support Autistic students well, so involve them!

Incorporate their passions and interests into your sessions

Just because they didn’t like a toy or activity doesn’t mean you can’t re-introduce it in future sessions. (doggy house, heavy work)
