It can be frustrating when a child with autism seems to dislike their teachers and teaching environments. When teachers and teaching environments become “paired” with un-preferred activities instead of fun or preferred activities, the mere presence of a teacher or teaching materials can evoke problem behavior. Many children with autism have not YET learned that being around others can be fun, reinforcing, or valuable.
Autism Education & Behavior Training Services can help you to change that! Our video-based training, “Creating a Willing Learner” uses video examples along with step-by-step instruction to show parents and teachers how to help a child with autism actually enjoy learning. If a child enjoys being around teachers and teaching environments, it becomes easier to teach language and other important skills that they so desperately need.
Developed in collaboration with Thomas M. Caffrey, M.Ed., BCBA, “Creating a Willing Learner” provides practical plans for those working directly with children with autism on a daily basis.
