5. Big Idea
People with autism can
learn. It is up to us to
figure out the best way to
teach them.
6. Strategies for Learning
Differences
Many people with autism understand better by seeing
than hearing something. When possible, use a picture
or written words.
Actual objects mean more than photographs or line
drawings for some.
They may have great memory for numbers, facts,
directions, but they may have a hard time retelling
events. Use pictures or reminders to help remember
past events.
7. Strategies for Learning
Differences
Skills learned in one place may not be used in a new place.
May have to teach the skill in each place it is used.
The person may not learn by watching others. We may
have to teach them by going through each step. A list of
steps can be helpful for some tasks.
8. Strategies for Learning
Differences
It might take longer for the person with ASD
to think through what was said before they
are able to respond. Give them time.
They might not even see why they should
respond. Prompt them to respond.
Some days it may be harder to concentrate or
the person may be more stressed, making it
harder for them to think and learn.
9. Big Idea
Visuals help with learning.
This can be objects,
pictures, or written words.
