Can anyone help?
I have a few questions...
What has to be done different for a child with HFA in education terms?
I have heard about social stories... And social skills training... Facilitated play in breaks...
Visual timetables I have heard of.
I guess a really inclusive environment where all differences are welcome and everyone is accepted to promote self esteem. Some anti-bullying measures?
Some targeted help to aid language development for my DS as he has delay.
But what other strategies might need to be utilised?
For a child who I can see it might be hard for a class teacher to be to follow instructions... are there specific teaching methods that need to be used? He gets very absorbed in things and then finds it hard to break off to do an activity not of his own choosing, so I can imagine he would find it hard to change activities in the classroom setting when not of his own volition. What could a teacher do about the above?
What else would a teacher need to know/do?
I know all kids are different but just some general ideas would be really enlightening.
Thank you
