Chapter+6

Notbohm stated that instead of focusing on the missing pieces of a child with autism, we need to consider teaching this student as a whole. Children with autism are a lot like any other child when considering their development, personalities, ect... We need to recognize that these students need to be subjected to teachers that want to find the correct way's to teach them. If we can't find a way to teach them in a way that they understand, we need to reach out to other resources. We work in schools where there are numerous educators and professionals at our fingertips, which can help create a unique collaboration of resources. We have our team members, Sped team, Diagnosticians, SLP, OT/PT that can help us find that perfect way to teach that specific child. We are life long learners as well, and need to utilize all the ideas and support we can get. This will help ensure student success.
