INTRODUCTION
With a growing number of children with autism in school, here are some steps tutors can take to help them learn, academically and socially.
Avoid Sensory Overload
Many unexpected things can be distracting to students with autism. Fluorescent lights, smells, and noises from other students can make it difficult for students with autism to concentrate. Using cool, calm colors in the classroom can help create a more relaxing atmosphere.
Give Extra Time
Even when you use direct language, a child with autism may not be able to respond or react right away. Give them extra time to absorb what you’ve said.
Give Simple Instructions
Complicated strings of directions can be difficult for any student to follow, but particularly so for children with ASD. Many struggle with processing oral language, so you are advised to break down instructions in a step-wise direction.
Finally...
If you are tutoring an autistic child, you are strongly advised to do a professional course on how to tutor children with autism. A small step like this can go a long way.
