Learning Behaviours of Children with Autism

Welcome to a new series of posts titled 'Learning Behaviours of Children with Autism'. Throughout this series, we will be looking at various behaviours that resonate with the many different learning patterns of children with autism. For example, we will be asking the many burning questions such as "Why is my child with autism so rigid in things that he does?" and "Why does my child loses tantrum easily when structure is disrupted?"

Throughout this series of articles, I will be discussing how these behaviours, while seemingly unrelated to learning, are actually impeding your children's learning progress. We will be looking at these various topics at three levels -

1) The root of the problem - The description of the behaviour. What the behaviour is like, when does the behaviour occur and what trigger the behaviour.

2) The problem - how the behaviour is affecting learning.

3) Solutions to the problem - what are the methods and strategies we can adopt to facilitate better learning?

So please stay tuned to upcoming articles of the series as the first article about Functional Fixedness will be up soon. What is Functuonal Fixedness, you ask? Well, you will have to come back and visit real soon!

Till then, if you have any questions that you would like answered via this series of blog posts regarding learning behaviour, please do not hesitate to email me at davensim@triumphantkids.com. No matter which part of the globe you are from, it's never too far to voice your concern and to gather solutions to the problems you are facing.

I am looking forward to our correspondences.

With deepest regards,
Daven
