Tips 12, 13 and 14 From 22 Tips for Teaching Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders
12. Providing warning of any impending change of routine, or switch of activity.
13. Addressing the pupil individually at all times (for example, the pupil may not realize that an instruction given to the whole class also includes him/her. Calling the pupil’s name and saying “I need you to listen to this as this is something for you to do” can sometimes work; other times the pupil will need to be addressed individually).
14. Using various means of presentation – visual, physical guidance, peer modeling, etc.
