As I mentioned in a previous post, a small number of students diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome have enrolled at Ithaca College. When a friend of mine posted a link to Temple Grandin's advice for teaching both children and adults with autism, I was very interested in reading Grandin's suggestions. Many of them echo the strategies I previously recorded, but others are new to me, such as issues with generalization and inability to sequence.
To me, this is a useful set of guidelines to remember when teaching students on the autism spectrum, but it also is a good reminder that students in general have different learning styles, and it's important to recognize things that are working and things that aren't for each particular class of individuals.
