The students in my self-contained special education classroom have been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Disability, or Intellectual Disability. Some attend lunch, recess, and Related Areas with their general education peers while others attend modified Related Areas. They are funny, creative, and work hard to be a part of a world that doesn't always make sense to them. Being around their peers can be more like work than fun, because interacting socially doesn't come naturally. Inviting someone to play a game means making eye contact, knowing how/what to ask, accepting if the request is declined; or if accepted, then understanding the concepts of taking turns, following the rules, and being a good sport. While play comes naturally to most of us, for students with an ASD, play can seem more like work.
