My Disagreements With Autistic Children

Decent Essays
Itâ€TMs inevitable that all students and pupils at some point during life at school will encounter situations where they have disagreements with their peers. In my role it happens quite a lot and even thought the children are mainly non verbal, they do have a good understanding of following instruction and, understand right/wrong in a lot of situations.
If a child takes a toy or game from another child without asking, a disagreement will occur, especially with autistic children. Thereâ€TMs quite often pushing, shoving, loud screams, itâ€TMs up to me to resolve the issue quickly and effectively.
I generally separate the children using positive, encouraging words such as “come on, letâ€TMs get this sorted out, you sit over there for a minute

I quite often offer some small reward upon children returning objects to a child theyâ€TMve taken them from or apologising for hurting someone. This seems to work really well when the children get to do something they enjoy for a short period of time, demonstrating to them that being positive is far better than getting cross.
If I were managing conflict and disagreements between adults Iâ€TMd certainly try and talk to a work colleague if I had issues with them in a calm, constructive manner. If this didnâ€TMt work, Iâ€TMd get a seni member of staff to mediate between us until any issues are resolved fully. Obviously I wouldnâ€TMt discuss any of the issues with other work colleagues as its private and wouldnâ€TMt look very professional to others. Iâ€TMd always be open and honest and would follow school policy where needed. If a parent had a disagreement or altercation with a staff member and were trying to get answers or resolution through me, Iâ€TMd advise them that I needed to speak to a senior member of staff and would get them to contact them with explanations etc. I would remember the confidentiality policies through school and wouldnâ€TMt discuss or comment on anything I know nothing about.

    In the article, “We Are Not Created Equal in Every Way”, Joan Ryan writes about a little girl who loves to dance but seemingly is not a skinny petite child. The author, who has written substantially about the pressures on young female athletes tosses out a red herring, insisting that the concern is not about Fredrika’s weight but that a child of only eight years is being thrust into such a burdensome position. My interpretation of this article is that the author is trying to validate reasons for the child to not be accepted due to her weight. Therefore, I would like to point out some of the logical flaws in her reasoning.…

As a director of a daycare, I would use conflict mediation to solve problems between two coworkers. Conflict mediation consists of seven steps outlined in Management of Child Development by Hearron and Hilebrand (pg160-161). The step given are: 1) acknowledgement there is a problem, 2) listen to both sides, 3) restate each point of view for clarity, 4) brainstorm ways to resolve issue(s), 5) help parties to come to a consensus about solution, 6) acknowledge how each worked to solve problem, 7) follow up to see if solution is being followed, (Hearron & Hilebrand pg.…

    The challenges that inclusion comes with are: the proper assessment of collaboration, attitude and willingness of the adults, and the resources available to the educators and students. The proper assessment of collaboration is a hard mission to fulfill. Due to the fact that joint participation focuses on teamwork, the task is already hard to incorporate. No matter what a leader says, some people aren’t motivated to do work and may never be.

    It is important to stop what you are doing when a child is talking to listen, sometimes this can be challenging working as a teaching assistant as you have so much other responsibilities and jobs to get done, however when hearing a child read or they are talking to you, you must turn your body towards them and fully engage in the conversation so the child can feel valued and backs up the message you are listening.

    I was asked one time, if given a super teaching power what would it be? Instantly I replied telepathy, because if I could know the many needs of my students, I could design appropriate instruction that would best fit their needs. With proper instruction the classroom environment is supportive of diverse learners, students are actively engaged in the lesson, and students’ ideas are respected and explored. Without this great respect for learning, the students’ problem behaviors emerge and become part of a negative classroom environment. Good instruction begins with proper planning.…

    Children are innocent and precious, but they can also be unruly if they aren’t taught how to interact with others. Have you ever been in church, a movie or a restaurant seated next to ill-behaved children? If you can’t concentrate, hear or enjoy yourself because of the uproar of little urchins, it’s hard to remember that they are innocent and precious as parents, we should give them a head-start on important life lessons by teaching them when and how to talk respectfully to others, as well as when to be quiet. We should also teach them to value listening as much as talking, which mean sharing attention with other people. The concept of sharing attention will extend to sharing other things of significance.…
