    Be patient, documents, observe and use resources. Collaborate with parents to get more insight as well.

    I think you should let the child explore but you explore with the child , they can show you things through there eyes , and if you pay close attention you can learn from an Autistic child , but teach as well some children are more advanced than others . so continue teaching but don’t forget about the one whos not learning as fast as the others ,spend a little extra time with him or her because they may function on a different level .

    Be patient and understanding. Listen to the parent and asvocate for the child. Sometimes as parents we are busy and dont do the same activities that providers do with children and parents dont see what us providers see. Communicate all observations of behaviors right off the bat, do not be judgmenal, just state facts and help to guide parents to resourcess that are available.

    Remember that the child is loved by their family and has the right to be protected by us teachers. Every interaction we have with the child will make an impact on their growth and development.

    My advice would be to be patient. Be patient and smile. I always smile and have a calm voice when working with kids on the autism spectrum. I also use persistence coaching when they struggle with a task that their peers may have mastered already. It is just stopping and taking time to work with them.

    Always communicate with parents so that you can stay on the same page. They may have. Tips that can help you engage with the child and navigate difficult times. Always ask how you can support them when their child is at school

      Lechra, thank you for sharing your advice. Patience is key when working with children on the autism spectrum, and your emphasis on communication through talking is important. It’s essential to remember that children with autism can perceive the world in unique ways and can benefit from engaging all of their senses. Keep up the great work!

    My advice for working with children who have ASD would be to be patient with the child. Communicate with the parents.

    Be patient, and find ways to create a bond with the child in a way the child enjoys, keep open communication with parents, and document everything.
