Calling all self-contained, autism classroom teachers ... 📢
Are you working with students with autism and significant cognitive challenges?
Not having enough planning time.
Not having the staffing to really get things done.
Not having enough hands to keep kids off the table and off of the floor.
It was overwhelming. It was draining. It was exhausting.
But then, I did this...
-
I read every book and journal article I could find about autism and attended conferences, soaking up information like a sponge.
- I became obsessed with trying to make the room run efficiently.
-
I rearranged furniture, developed a love affair with Velcro, and spent many hours after school and at home making materials--because, of course, there was no curriculum.
-
Years before, a summer job at a preschool taught me about dividing students into smaller groups and structuring those groups for success, and that became my go-to method.
-
I started to feel more confident as I created lessons that would reach my students and found reinforcers that students might work for.
-
I developed systems that were working and felt like I was serving my students' needs better.
-
I was eventually hired as a specialist to help other teachers run and organize their autism classrooms.
-
I realized that environment and systems are way more important than almost anything else in the classroom.
-
Having this knowledge gave me the confidence to share what I know with others, helping them to create an effective learning environment so they'll feel more in control of their classroom and confident that they're meeting their students' needs.
