Teaching children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) requires a knowledge and understanding of how each individual processes the information that surrounds them and how they interpret and respond to that information.
Autism Strategies for Preschool Teachers
Preschool teachers and carers are in a unique position to develop early learning strategies and social skills for children with ASD. The formative years in a child’s development are crucial and more so for children with autism. When you are a preschool teacher working alongside a child with autism you can create scaffolds for learning that will set children on a path for success leading into primary school. Preschool teachers need to have current knowledge of how to engage with and help develop skills in the autistic student with whom they are working. Specific programming activities can help young children with ASD to better understand the world around them and achieve positive outcomes. Learn about being a preschool teacher and teaching kids with autism and put in place strategies while optimising the resources currently in your centre.
