Branch out and Brainstorm

Teach Brainstorming

Ideas for the classroom:
To teach concepts ask many questions relating to parts of the whole concept. Categories can be broken down into parts and function. Make a fun game show out of it. Have students take turns answering questions then once they get a question right they get the chance to make a choice for a fun project such as make a collage about something they are interested in such as trains or dogs ect. Have then also research ways to expand there interests. Often time’s individuals with autism are obsessive about one topic or idea. Teaching types of breeds of dogs can help to give the student some new information to learn as well as making an appropriate brainstorming of the idea. It’s even possible that you may want to teach strategies to train dogs to do tricks. These topics that are “obsessive” are often calming and familiar.
