SPECIAL TIPS AND IDEAS:

Special needs students are just like other students their age in many ways.
Students with special needs are also adolescents and teenagers dealing
with all the issues that come with that age, school staff and parents must
support them with that in mind.

FOR INTROVERT STUDENTS, AUTISTS:

One of the greatest challenges for teachers is balancing the needs of many
different types of students. Each and every student is unique, and each
student learns best using a different methodology or tactic. In many
classrooms, the loud, boisterous and excited extroverts often take center
stage.
They raise their hand for every question, and excitedly join groups for

group activities. For the introvert, this can be intimidating and force them
to hole up inside even more.

Teachers should remember that is important to balance the classroom, and
incorporate activities into the lesson plans that help introverted students

excel as well.
Here are five activities you can use to help the introverts in your class.

ASSIGN AN INDEPENDENT WRITING ASSIGNMENT

Teachers often prefer to promote students working in groups, as it helps
them learn to work together as a team as many of them will have to do in

the real world one day. However, it is important to recognize that for
the introvert, this is not necessarily the best way of learning.

By assigning an independent writing assignment during a quiet hour,
the introvert gets the time necessary to think and write on their own about

a given topic.
