This blog site has all different strategies that have worked for me depending on the child. I hope these can be helpful for parents and educators on this journey called Autism.

Yoga Pretzels
These easy yoga cards are great for children who need to slow their bodies down or if they need to take a sensory break. The cards show you how to do the pose in 4 easy steps.
BINGO
I really enjoy using this work system because it makes it fun for the children. This system is used for mainstreaming a child with Autism or ADHD. I use this on a child who has trouble controlling his body, following directions and listening to teachers. Every child has different needs so you can modify this work system to make it work for you. The key to change those key behaviors is to catch the child doing whats on the bingo and mark it with a dry ease marker. Just like bingo if the child gets five in a row they earn free choice for five minutes.
What? Why? How? =
This work system is used to mainstream a child with Autism in a regular education classroom. (What) you write what the subject is that you want the child to be doing. (Why) in most cases I write expected because the children I teach know whats expected and whats unexpected. Sometimes, I may write " It makes your teachers happy." (How) I write how you need to be doing the task. With a quiet mouth, do work, eyes on teacher, and 2nd grade hands. (=) This means the child gets a reward if they complete the task that I' m asking them to do. In this case the reward is 5 mins of Angry Birds on the Ipad.
