Teaching style
Student Centered, Therapeutic, Participatory, and Collaborative.
I used the TEACCH approach and methodology to teach my students on the spectrum (self-contained classroom). This approach focuses on the "culture of autism" and is based on cognitive-social learning theory. A core value in this approach is appreciating and valuing the unique strengths in every child.
