Another interesting site that I recently visited is titled:
Special Education Services
Autism: Interventions andStrategies for Success
http://www.specialed.us/autism/index2.htm
This site is very informative and can really be used as a tool in developing educational programs for a child with autism. In this site, if you click on the crayon labeled Structured Teaching: Strategeies for Supporting Students with Autism, it describes a very important tool for the development of a child with autism. The tool is a visual schedule. A visual schedule will tell the child what events will occur and in what order which will help the child in a number of ways. It will help them with sequential memory and organization of time, expectations of them, anxiety, and transitioning. The example uses a "first-then" approach.
It also shows how to develop a visual schedule.
The specific page for the visual schedule is http://www.specialed.us/autism/structure/str11.htm
