Learning FX style

 

 

 

What are some important teaching strategies?

Teaching strategies built into the IEP for school-age children should focus on individual learning styles and include:

1. Awareness of learning style:
2. Use of simultaneous processing activities; 

3. Whole word methods for reading and spelling;

4. Visual cues, including pictures, sign language, logos, and words;

5. Concrete, high interest examples and materials;

6. Modelling and imitation, for both behavioural and communication goals;

7. Integration of self-help goals with language and motor goals (eating, dressing, toileting);

8. Inclusion of functional skills, along with academic;

9. Highly structured, predictable routines, with visual cues for changes in expected events;

10. Opportunities for calming.

Inclusion or mainstreaming into the regular classroom is recommended whenever possible, so that the child will have models of normal behaviour in the classroom and will learn appropriate social skills. The regular classroom assignments can be modified by an educational aide or special education teacher, so that the child can complete an appropriate amount of work without excessive frustration.
