Simon, your new transfer student with a diagnosis of autism, is displaying many stereotypical behaviors and has repeated meltdowns at school. His IEP lists several strategies for handling such behaviors. What can you do to help Simon adjust to his new school?
  1. Hold a brief in-service for all of Simon’s teachers to educate them on the strategies that are in Simon’s IEP.
  2. Make copies of the IEP, and ask Simon’s teachers to read about the strategies themselves.
  3. Observe Simon during school, and write up your own strategies for handling his behaviors.
  4. Ask your OT department to develop a behavior plan for Simon.
Explanation
Answer: A. To help Simon adjust to his new school, you can hold a brief in-service for all of Simon’s teachers to educate them on the strategies that are in Simon’s IEP. Simon’s old school determined which strategies worked for Simon, and your school can follow through with these techniques. Most teachers do not have regular access to a student’s IEP. So an in-service to educate them on strategies would be the most efficient method for communicating this information.
