Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most widely studied use for using interventions to teach children with autism. ABA interventions serve as a valuable early intervention tool for students from pre-kindergarten through the transition to adulthood. The idea is to use targeted teaching strategies that boost skills and cater to each student's unique needs These strategies are typically individualized for students as different students will have different needs. Students with autism may benefit from repetition of material, tasks being broken down into smaller steps, and having additional visuals alongside text or verbal directions.

As educators, working toward meeting (and exceeding!) your students’ education goals is always top of mind. Goals are built into student IEPs, covered in your daily classroom routines, woven into your lesson plans, etc., which is why including systematic instruction while teaching your students is key.
In today's ever-changing educational landscape, the pursuit of equitable and inclusive education remains a paramount goal. However, achieving this goal often requires a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the unique needs of all students, particularly those in special education programs. Research has highlighted the significance of providing tailored support, fostering a supportive environment, and implementing evidence-based strategies to ensure that special education students receive the quality education they deserve.
Whether you’re early on in your career as a special education teacher or you’re a seasoned pro, developing a daily schedule for your classroom has its benefits. And, although creating a daily schedule at the start of the school year may seem like a tedious action item, it will help you, your paraprofessional (if you have one), and your students with extensive support needs stay on task throughout the year.
Differentiation is tailoring or modifying lessons to best fit the needs of learners. Learning goals are the same, but students progress through the materials at different speeds and with different supports. It allows teachers to take into account the specific needs, skills and profile of their learners which is based on their interests, and the particular way they learn when designing each teaching hour as the needs vary from lesson to lesson, even for the same student. When learners have access to differentiated and tailored instruction, this can have a positive impact on behavior and skill acquisition.
