Jack is a 6 year old boy with autism and has a 3
year old sister. He has difficulty playing with his peers but plays a little
beat with his sister.
He’s the only person with autism in his family. His father work’s
as an engineer while the mother stays at home. Jack never initiates conversations and rarely makes eye
contact with other individuals. He sometimes starts spoiling things around him
and runs out from the class.
Jack was
placed in a special education school. His teacher Mrs. Peter has been having
difficulty in finding effective teaching strategies to work with Jack. He
rarely listens to Mrs. Penny and has difficulty interacting with other students
in his class. I experienced this couple of years ago while working with him. At
home, parents have noticed that Jack loses his temper more frequently since
they moved to New York City last year. In order to look for the strategies for
working with Jack, Mrs. Penny scheduled an IEP team meeting with his parents.
I’m just
wondering if you have an idea of any other service out there that you think it
would be of help for Jack and his family. This is a child I’ve actually worked
with during summer couple of years ago. Is there any strategy you know
that may be used to help his situation?
Thanks in
advance.
Hi Adebisi, I believe his IEP should cover the initial help Jack will need. However, I found this website to be pretty helpful with families who take care of children with Autism. You might find something interesting for your student. Try this website: Autism Speaks @ http://www.autismspeaks.org/?utm_source=autismspeaks.org&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=primarymenu
