Cognition and Learning in Autism


    There is a wide range of cognitive
                  ability.



Intellectual Disability         Gifted
Big Idea

Students with autism can
  learn. It is up to us to
figure out the best way to
       teach them.
Strategies for Learning
            Differences

 Many students with autism understand better by
  seeing than hearing something. When possible, use a
  picture or written words.

 Actual objects mean more than photographs or line
  drawings for some.

 They may have great memory for
  numbers, facts, directions, but they may have a hard
  time retelling events. Use pictures or reminders to
  help remember past events.
Strategies for Learning
              Differences

 Skills learned in one place may not be used in a new place.
  May have to teach the skill in each place it is used.

 The student may not learn by watching others. We may
  have to teach them by going through each step. A list of
  steps can be helpful for some tasks.
Strategies for Learning
          Differences

 It might take longer for them to think
  through what was said before they are able to
  respond. Give them time.

 They might not even see why they should
  respond. Prompt them to respond.

 Some days it may be harder to concentrate or
  the student may be more stressed making it
  harder to think and learn.
Big Idea


Visuals help with learning.
       This can be
   objects, pictures, or
      written words.
