Children With Aspergers
I just started working with a student who is diagnosed with Aspergers. Through working on this case I've really come to appreciate the importance of structure in the lives of my students. Taping a set schedule to the student's desk, giving breaks at set times each day and creating a behavior chart has worked wonders. I also learned that the approach needs to come from home and the school. If the students expect to be rewarded at home in addition to school the desired behavior seems to come more quickly.
