One Monday evening at the Team Meeting, a therapist expressed concern that his student did not seem interested in anything that had been presented to him. It was very challenging to motivate him to do anything.
We looked at the student's strengths and interests and realized he did not show many interests at all. One of the few things he liked was water, and I began thinking along those lines. How could something be made that involved water, which might gain his interest and thus motivate him?
It's the time of year where many celebrate graduation from high school. But for many individuals with autism, graduation day means asking the question: "What happens now?"
