How do you structure recess for autistic students?
Recess is our hardest transition. Looking for structured-play ideas that don't feel like more school.

Education major — how do I prepare to teach autistic students well?
My program barely covers autism. What should I be reading, watching, or shadowing before I start student teaching?

Classroom accommodations for an autistic student who elopes
I'm a 2nd grade teacher and a student in my class sometimes leaves the classroom without warning during noisy activities. I want to write a supportive accommodation into their IEP goal rather than just adding a paraprofessional. What has worked in other classrooms?
