Throughout their school day, teens are expected to answer dozens of questions, make numerous choices, and relate effectively to peers and instructors. Autism students are no exception! However, if, when, and how these special students respond can be vary from hour to hour and student to student. Interactive and creative activities such as virtual reality goggles, magnetic drawing boards, and a pop-up minions game can draw out and bring together students in relatable and meaningful ways. These games and toys allow students to participate in discussions and make choices about a hands on topic. Making Halloween crafts & snowmen decorations are designed to encourage awareness of holidays and seasons and to enhance students' ability to follow directions. These skills not only give them a sense of pride & inclusion, but are also directly related to future job opportunities. Using contemporary and trendy materials gets their attention and makes Autistic teens feel included and on point. Often, the available therapy materials are geared toward younger students so my middle school and high school are left with "babyish" games and activities that they don't relate to. Popular movie characters and vivid pictures help them be able to describe and ask questions while fun crafts help them learn to follow directions and get ready for the job market. And, of course, every teen likes to snack, so enticing or rewarding them with candy is always high on their list.
