Instructional Strategies for Children with ASD

Instructional Strategies for Children with ASD
Among the instructional strategies for children with ASD are the limitation of sensory overload, the use of rewards, and the provision of feedback. Limitation of sensory overload may be achieved by providing materials that are not visually, auditorily, or physically overwhelming (Meindl, Delgado & Casey, 2020). Using rewards is a way to provide positive reinforcement for appropriate behavior when there is limited access to natural reinforcers such as social attention and affection. Providing feedback through a choice of success contingent on action can motivate the child to take more risk-taking opportunities.
The limitation of sensory overload would be ideal for a child with autism because school is most likely the most unfamiliar place a child with autism will be. Hence, its limitation would enhance the limitation and comprehension capabilities of the student. Such would improve the children's ability to learn and understand what they are taught without facing many distractions (Meindl, Delgado & Casey, 2020)....
