10 corrective techniques for autistic kids
You can use the following techniques to learn kids with autism symptoms.
1. Lessons from the cards. For playing cards will need to start no more than 5. They can be depicted objects or people performing certain actions. These cards can be used to explain the sequence. For example, preparing for sleep is divided into several steps, and each action card is harvested. First, clearly pronounced: “It is time to sleep” and further demonstrates the card. Cards can be: “take your clothes off”, “wear pajamas”, “brush your teeth,” “wash,” “go to the toilet,” “go to sleep” and the last picture is a sleeping child. Showing images must be accompanied by an explanation, but not wordy. Only the clear title action and nothing else. After a few months, maybe even a year later, it will be enough to say “go to sleep” and the child will know that he needs to do. But, I repeat, this will only happen as a result of regular exercise. These cards should be on all of the “walk”, “eat”, “read”, “draw”.
2. Children with autism are usually afraid of water. Should be offered to him playing with water, but need to start training slowly, for example, wet sand, poured into a bucket. Gradually, the sand has become more and more wet. It can draw lines, make him a different shape.
3. It is important to develop tactile perception. You can take a small box, fill it with any grains or sand and pebbles, or hide inside the large buttons to start 2-3, no more. The child must find them and get it, gradually the number of pebbles can be increased to 10-15. Another similar task: in a bowl, pour water on the bottom, place a coin, the child should try to get them.
4. Exercise for the development of coordination: it is necessary to take two cups, one of them filled with water and ask the child to pour water from one cup to another. With the development of this skill, cup size should decrease.
5. Sculpting – one of the most important correction techniques: time will develop motor skills and sensory sensitivity. For the modeling can be used to simulate the mass or the usual clay. The child rolls clay, makes him a ball and just stretches it.
6. Stringing beads. Better to start with large circles, indented from the board, with the development of skill you can proceed to more minute details, down to the beads.
7. Puzzles. You can buy ready-made puzzles, with very large portions, but you can make them, drawing a big picture and cutting it into several parts, to start at 3-4, with time, the number of parts of the puzzle must be increased.
8. Another exercise on motor function. Put in the number of identical items, and let the child will turn them.
9. Dance. You can dance at home or find a suitable club for group activities.
10. We need to develop tactile and kinesthetic sensations. For this game well suited to a variety of materials. You can use silk, wool, toilet, and sandpaper.
The scheme of studies may be as follows: 5 min sessions with cards, 5 minutes reading books, finger play 5 minutes, then take a break and a new block of classes. Go from simple exercises to more complex, to start using those tasks with which the child is just fail, it will help him believe in himself.
And the most important rule – the child must be taken for what it is, without comparing with other children. He is no better and no worse than them, it just the other …
