Academic Learning Strategies for Students with Autism

Abstract: Students with ASD have difficulties when it comes to responsive and expressive interaction, leading to failure in understanding social situations. Due to this, students with ASD may face social rejection by peers as a consequence of their social awkwardness, which can negatively impact the child’s emotional stability. The classroom is an incredibly social place, however, this causes anxiety because of the social challenges that these students might face, and even go as far as to obstruct their academic learning. Social skills are incredibly important as they’re needed for many things, from asking for help to cooperating with fellow peers. Several strategies have been researched to assist students with ASD in improving their social interactions, furthermore improving their education. One of these strategies includes using Computer Assisted Instruction, which has shown that they react positively to visual cues as they typically possess adept visual processing. The second is Mind Reading Software, which had led to significant improvement in recognizing emotions. The final exercise was shared reading activities, which served to improve literary skills.
