My good friend and fantastic teacher, Heather Mros, contacted me this afternoon and we collaborated on a story for her 5th graders. She was looking for something to help remind them about the expectations for online learning. This is so important, because students might not know what is expected of them when learning on this type of platform. We did giggle as we wrote it, imagining 5th graders participating in a classroom format online 🙂
If circle time has been sitting on your “I know this needs to feel better” list, this is the easiest place to start. This quick, practical guide walks you through 5 simple shifts that help circle time feel more predictable, engaging, and supportive for autistic students with high support needs—without forcing long group times, adding pressure, or expecting students to participate in one “right” way.
You’ll learn how to start small, use visuals, support regulation, build in interaction, and create a circle time routine that grows with your students over time.
Download the guide and start with one small shift that makes tomorrow’s circle time feel easier.
