Chris is a third grader in your class who has autism spectrum disorder. He demonstrates average intelligence and a willingness to interact with others on some level. He has had the same paraprofessional, Mr. Jeria, for the last two school years and feels very comfortable with him. While he does not often speak with or interact with many of his classmates, Chris regularly communicates his ideas
orally to Mr. Jeria. One of the goals in Chris's IEP is to increase his social interaction with peers. What accommodations might you make in your class to facilitate his success in addressing this IEP goal?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should include accommodations such as: create a structured and predictable classroom environment that permits time for the student to interact with other students, allow time for the student to work alone but also time for the student to work in the classroom setting, respond appropriately to the student's behavior by providing a highly structured behavior management program for the student where the student is positively reinforced.
