*Problem Solving*

trainee teacher

Hi, I am in my last year of training to be a primary school teacher. I have experienced work with Autistic children during my teaching practice and want to develop my understanding on problem solving with Autism.

I would really appreciate feedback on the matter as I want to provide effective teaching to those who are learning with Autism.

I have researched a lot into the theory of mind and the processing skills involved in Autism but feel personal experience will give me greater insight into the matter.

It will be great to hear from all of you, thanks

  • Hi traineeteacher. Are you writing up a final year project/dissertation or other piece of self directed study for your teaching qualification. If you are seeking outcomes from dialogue on here towards that end you should let the Moderators know.

    It would be worth looking at the library resources on this subject in your college/university. Some institutions have very little "pedagogic" literature on educating people on the spectrum. You should be able to access this on the library catalogue or just browse the shelf. It would be worth comparing your education centre library with the titles available on the NAS website. There are plenty of books recording young people's and young adult's experiences of education and being on the autistic spectrum.

    If not your own institution, a nearby institution may have special education needs lecturers and researchers on staff. You may be better contacting them. There may be project data you could have access to, or let you participate in live discussion groups, though you may need to meet prior clearance for this.

    Excuse my caution but having said that you are in the final year of training, it is important you don't misuse a discussion forum like this to complete your degree. Also you may be able to get the experience and insight you seek in the posts you secure once qualified.

    Best Wishes
