Outstanding group project. See ya in January.
We would agree with everything you have come up with.
Some additional challenges we have founds are:
- frustration with when they get stuck
- Not understanding that you can’t always get to the him/her right away
- difficulty transitioning between activities
Additional strategies we could use:
- work with Special education teacher closely
- take assessments in an alternative location
- Clear & consistent rules & boundaries
- warnings for transitions
Additional resources we could provide are:
- pseudo code for when they are stuck
- headphones
