> Hi all,
> My name is Jenna and I am a freshman at Bolling Green State University
> studying Mild-to-moderate Intervention Specialist (special ed.)
> I am in a program that allows me to go in to the classroom in a nearby
> inner-city school and observe and teach once a week for the entire
> school year.  I am currently working with special Ed kids who are at
> 1st through 3rd grade levels.  Most of the kids get that I can't see,
> and are really good about telling me things (surprisingly), but there
> is one little boy that is not getting it.  He's 6 and at a third grade
> level, and is autistic.  I don't know how to get it across to him. The
> teacher tried covering his eyes with her hands and telling him thats
> what I see all the time, but that didn't work. I was thinking about
> blindfolding him, but since he's autistic I don't know how he'll
> handle that and don't want him freaking out on me.  Any ideas or
> suggestions at all would be appreciated. This kid is really fun to
> work with, but it would be easier if I didn't have to keep explaining
> that I couldn't see what he's pointing at on the papers.
> Thanks,
