Autistic Student- sensory sensitive-less is more accommodations

Hi @lbenson,

Accommodations such as this can be difficult especially when they are so individualized such as “quality over quantity” because the quantity can be very different for each student. I do not think a map exists that I am aware of. I know this is probably not new information, but the following are some common accommodations I use when working with students who are not successful on the posted timeline/curriculum:

  • Create a custom timeline. For example in Unit 3, I have students whose final assessment is the end of chapter 1 (the interactive card) and not the final chapter 2 assessment.

  • Switch to Code.org’s Fundamentals if the student is not successful with Discoveries.

  • Sound cancelling headphones if needed.

  • Here is a suggestion in the forum from a former CSD student.

Perhaps others can suggest some other accommodations that have been successful with their students.

Best wishes,
~Michelle
