First year teacher

[Guest guest]

What's the age range of the children and the functioning level? You can find out great info at www.verbalbehaviornetwork.com for instructional materials, workshops you can attend etc. Different Roads to learning has a lot of supplies. THere's a list of places to get reinforcers/therapy materials in the files section of this group too.

Hi , If any of them struggle with handwriting, check into "Handwriting without Tears." This is a program that is very successful with many students with autism.

I would suggest a “sensory”

area where the kids can bounce, swing, etc., if necessary. Sensory activities

are very important….

This will be my first year of teaching with autistic children. I was

wondering if anyone has any suggestions of supplies that I should definately

acquire, and also any help with lesson ideas or daily activities.

Thanks,

Thank you for those who responded to my first posting. I received my

class role today and I have eight children ranging in grades from 2-

5. They are of course all functioning below their levels. What are

some good activities or resources(books, websites, etc.) that would be

of use for me?? thanks for all your help!
