Dear utk, autism is my prism not my prison. This is what she wrote at the beginning and that is a strong statement. I feel like people consider her disability as a problem, but she sees it differently. She said that Special needs are all around the world. The world doesn't need autism, but autism needs the world, because autism is a nasty disability but the world can help those with autism. As teachers, we need to help students find out who they are and cater to them. Find their strong suits and focus on them.
"To connect I had to be where he was. Non verbal, be non verbal." As teachers, we do not lose our expertise status from learning from those we teach. Be open to meeting individuals where they are.
Receptive language based on what the individual loves to do.
Making me think about my moms charter school. Find what student loves and run with it.
Think inside, laugh outside
