If a child with autism can’t understand and connect with their care giver it will lead to frustration, anger, isolation, anxiety and challenging behaviour as a result. Common neurological theories suggest that autistic children find it very difficult to connect with their environment. The school environment can be exhausting for an autistic child so we need to put ourselves in their position and walk in their shoes.
Do you have a safe place for autistic children in your school? Find out how you can make your school environment feel safe in this week’s podcast with Tessa Morton. In this episode she discusses how to help you connect and communicate with your autistic students.
