How to
treat a child with asperger syndrome in class?
As
a teacher,I don’t have to treat him as a different person, i have to integrate
him to feel the same as the other children. Provide a predictable and safe
environment. Protect the child from intimidation and ridicule.
Children with Asperger Syndrome tend to isolate
themselves; therefore, me as a teacher have to encourage their participation
with others. Promote active socialization and limit the time in which it is
isolated and dedicated to their personal interests. Help to organize in class.
