By observing him and talking to my colleagues it appears that he needs structure very much in order to work efficiently: sitting at the same place (usually by himself), having the same teacher, always following the same course pattern for example. I happened to have him in my class once or twice last year when replacing my colleague and the work I gave him was always "too difficult" he said. So I gave him something simpler, which he didn't finish by the end of the lesson anyway, preferring to daydream. I can't tell you more than that about autism. Good luck !

So I don't know exactly how you teach new things to autistic children. But I guess visual information is always very helpful for them, especially if they are slower. Sorry. I might teach him next school year. If I do, I'll let you know. Bye for now,

Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 5 Status:	hello mdchaskar, i have a few months experience with an Autistic child and have spoken to a teacher who is also a parent of an autistic child. here are a few things i found out. some autistic childern are very good at sequencing and can thus learn days of a week, months of the year, numbers, tables, time etc.... quickly they often walk on their toes and need heavy slippers or weights to be added in their pockets to increase the action of gravity on their body. they are very sensitive to smell and may get instantly disturbed by a particular one. Although they need to be in and follow the same setup everyday, they should slowly be exposed to minor changes that they can cope with. MOST IMPORTAN: they need excessive and proper attention from home with regular visits to a specialist, who teaches both parents as well as the child to work on the important areas. these vists must be followed religiously

Modeling is an effective teaching strategy to them than instructing verbally. Since there are studies that CWA has a problem in processing information. it takes them more than 1 sec to process the given information.
