Children with ASD often qualify for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a Section 504 plan. Each of these programs promotes support for students to access their learning environment.

Anyone on the IEP team can suggest accommodations: Teachers, behavior analysts, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and even parents and administrators. Each student should have accommodations in place to best support their unique needs. Common adaptations fall into the cognitive, sensory, behavioral, emotional, and communication domains.

Cognitive:

1. Pre-teaching. This involves giving children a heads-up before diving into a lesson or new routine.  You can use this accommodation to pre-teach an upcoming fire drill, a new teacher joining the classroom, or novel lesson concepts.

2. Provide short, concise directions. Clear directions that are understandable to the student can give a child a successful start and reduce confusion.

3. Active learning opportunities. This might include experiential learning, incorporating movement, or selecting materials that align with the child’s interests.

Sensory:

1. Reduction of visual clutter. Students overresponsive to visual input can become highly distracted by busy posters, toy shelves, and excess writing on a printed page.

2. Access to a quiet space or noise-canceling headphones. This will allow the child to regulate if the classroom feels too loud.

3. Flexible seating. The opportunity to move and change positions can help many children with ASD self-regulate and attend.

Behavioral:

1. Preferential seating. Specify if the student needs to sit near a teacher, facing away from a visually stimulating area or somewhere else.

2. Positive reinforcement. Reward appropriate behavior with praise, incentives, or a token system.

3. Small group instruction. This can be a behavioral or academic accommodation and reduces sensory and social demands.

Emotional:

1. Deep pressure breaks. Deep pressure helps many children feel calm and connected. You can carry out deep pressure by giving the student a weighted ball massage, presenting a weighted lap pad, or letting them wear a Lycra body sock.

2. Zones of Regulation. The Zones curriculum can be carried out across school and home environments and give children the language and tools to practice self-regulation.

Communication:

1. Modeling.A common strategy that is often included in an IEP is adult modeling for peer interactions or self-talk.

2. Assistive technology. One essential accommodation for children with autism spectrum disorder involves communication devices. Both low and high-tech devices help a child communicate.
