Do you have students who have very intense emotional reactions to problem situations that seem very small? Many students, especially those on the Autism spectrum, have a difficult time regulating their reactions when they experience such intense feelings. Learning to identify the intensity of their feelings and to compare this to the "facts" about the size of the problem is an essential step in problem solving. When students can see the mismatch between the intensity of their emotional reactions and the size of the problem, they can practice calming strategies to allow themselves to react in a more socially appropriate way to the problems they face. Use this interactive problem solving procedure to help your students stay calm and solve their problems as they arise.

Thank you for your questions. The file would be received as a Smartboard activity. Yes, you may change the wording for specific students. You may also want to consider the "practice with problem size" activity as a pre-lesson. The wording in that file could be changed as well. I hope you find these helpful.

Hi

Is this is an original work or is there some source that I should cite other than you if I am referencing this?

Thanks,

Kassie,
Background ideas for this work came from The Incredible 5-Point Scale (Dunn and Curtis, 2004) as well as Michelle Garcia Winner's multiple writings suggesting that children with autism spectrum disorders need to learn to identify the size of their problems. The wording and process presented in "Problem Solving:Think about the size and solver your problem" is my original work refined over several years of working with these students.
