First is to realize how autistic children learn so that we can teach them in the same enthusiasm that we would teach other kids. Having enough information aboout the disorder, will help the teacher deal with autistic people especially the kids in and out the school.
Second, identify what kind of learner an autistic child might be. Most often they are visual thinkers. They are mostly interested or they learn more in lessons that involve picture usage. Words combined with pictures such as nouns or verbs are the easiest to teach in an autistic child because sometimes teachers have difficulty explaining what such word is if not backed up by a picture or a video. Teachers should also avoid using long sentences when speaking as an autistic child is a visual learner. A good way to instruct or teach tehm is to let them write the instructions es[ecially during exams for them to be able to understand more clearly.
Picture or object fixation is very common in an autistic child. If this happens, you can try to use the picture or object as an example in your lessons to catch the chil’ds attention.
Arts and music are some of the activities that autistic children enjoy and very good at. parents and teachers alike should encourage these activities and set a schedule for them to do their paintings or play an instrument.
Computers are also helpful as some autistic kids have writing problem because of their lack of control in their movements. Allowing the child use a computer can reduce his dissatisfaction.
Teaching an autistic child is not easy. you have to be patient and creative at all times to catch their attention. By doing so, you are not only giving them the best opportunities in life but also teaching other kids to be less prejudiced about an autistic child.
