Tip course for Autism in Taupo with colleagues for child in my class.
What did I learn?
This is a course designed with the child in mind and how the people who are involved in their every day lives - teacher, teacher aide, specialist teacher, MOE advisor and parent can work together to create aids to help that child learn, being socially acceptable and happy in their environment. Day 1 - we have learnt about what we are going to learn about Autism, similarities and differences of our children, what and how visuals can help to keep them on track. I had already had thoughts about this as I wanted to change what the daily timetable looks like. This course has reaffirmed my ideas and that I have been on the right track.
Where to next?
I now have a list of TO DO jobs in order for these ideas to come to fruition.
What am I uneasy about?
I will need to get some of these done before the holidays, or do I leave it until after the holidays, or will that be too much change for the child of concern.
I am already looking forward to the next day of learning even though I have already previously done this course.

- Make some visual clock faces with our class times on, analogue and digital ( a couple of sets)
- Make a video with turn taking on it - marimba and gym
- Make a video on the "Tunnel of Change" game using an oil timer to indicate a new turn and choice
- Order a new clock - even 2, one for Teacher Aide room and classroom
