About this listen

Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.

In this episode, we will discuss:

✅ TA Relationships: Consistent bonds aid autistic students without unhealthy dependency.
✅ Role Clarity: Teachers lead instruction; TAs support, not replace teachers.
✅ Predictability: Consistent TA assignments reduce anxiety and improve classroom stability.
✅ Collaboration: Teachers and TAs coordinate, leaving egos at the door.
✅ Behavior Communication: Behavior expresses needs when communication is limited.
✅ Generalization: Teach skills across contexts to prevent rigid, situation-bound learning.
✅ Student Agency: Let students choose support methods and TA use in secondary.
