Specifics in education of pupils with SEN

The teacher must design the classroom and all instructional materials to contain visual supports and cues. Pupils with ASD usually have better visual processing skills and respond well to picture symbols and other visual information. Picture symbols can be used to create a personal visual schedule for the pupil and can be instrumental in minimizing many problem behaviors. Picture symbol cues may be posted in readable areas. The classroom environment itself should have clearly marked delineations between work and leisure areas.

The teacher should also use instructional goals in the daily routines of the pupil. These pupils typically need a great deal of extra practice to master many academic and social skills, and it is necessary to involve parents as tutors in the home setting. Support systems and activities should be as simple as possible to ensure their ready application.
