Autism Spectrum Disorders
Helping Students with ASD navigate their day:
Most children respond well to a visual timetable. Many mainstream teachers are now using large versions in their classroom displays and it certainly eases the anxiety of ASD pupils and boosts the confidence of all pupils.
You can give each child a small photograph album in which to keep their own timetable symbols and photos. A few minutes spent each session to arrange the individual or class visual timetable can help reassure the pupil and prepare them for "what comes next?" or "how much do I have to do?" or "When is the task finished?" The child can remove the symbols from his/her own timetable and "post" them in a finished box as and when tasks are complete.
Any veriation of this will work as long as the child is able to see a visual of their daily expectations and can manipulate (remove the item from the task list)when a task is completed.
