Hello everyone,
Today, I taught an 8-year-old boy who is autistic, has severe dyslexia, and stutters. We worked on simple vocabulary: learning new words, looking at how they are used in simple sentences, and then using them in fill-in-the-blank activities.
However, even after several lessons focusing on the same words, I feel that he is not retaining them at all. I am trying to vary the approaches, repeat the vocabulary, and simplify the activities, but I feel that something in the way I am teaching may not be fully adapted to his needs.
I would truly appreciate any advice, strategies, activities, or approaches that could help in this kind of situation.
What would you do differently?
Thank you so much in advance for your help and ideas
