My DD is being assessed for Autism (she has an Autistic elder brother) so far the only real assessment is extreme anxiety and the following is a list of things her yrR teacher is putting in place for her:
Shes entering the classroom via reception two minutes before the bell. The noise of the bell and bustle of the queue from the playground would stress her.
Her peg will be at the end of the row and not shared so she is less bustled by others and finds it easier to find.
Her tray will be at the top end unit of trays like with the peg, easier to locate less bustle of other children.
At breaktimes she will go to the nursery playground with a friend/ small group rather than on the yard (nursery have break at a different time) with hundreds of others. The nursery playground has set up activities to do ratherthan complete free play of the main playground.
At lunch she will eat initially at the top table (its in a room off the hall so quiet and already supervised) - usually a reward for other children.
Her groupwork will be very small groups, she wont speak if there are more than about four other children around.
At hometime she'll come out of the class first.
She has a comforter that she takes everywhere but has always excepted at nursery needs to live in a zipped bag on her peg. She's been allowed to continue having this - ocassionally if shes inconsoleable nursery use it and she's reassured by its pressence.
She doesn't like stickers on her but likes rewards so she's having a sticker reward chart for her class stickers that she can keep in her book bag.
She's having a quiet calm zone (pop up tent) that she can withdraw too if things get to much.
Her teacher is wonderful and has an ASD son of her own so when we got chatting about my concerns post visiting the school SENCO she knew exactly where I was coming from.
As others have said chatting to the parents and giving them some line of communication for any issues (home/ school book?) I'm sure would be welcomed.
