Get to know your students
If you get to know your students, you may be able to better understand their abilities and limitations. In the video below, it can be seen that this particular student benefits from frequent breaks.
As seen the video above, understanding children's limits in regards to their schoolwork can help to reduce the stress and anxiety level students face when at school.
Another benefit of getting to know your students is that it allows you as an educator to adapt and modify your lessons to encompass topics and themes that are known interests of students. In engaging students using their interests, children with ASD may feel more welcome in the classroom.
