I have been attending the after school computer tutoring sessions at my elementary school. I've noticed over the last three sessions that this autistic boy had been working on the same lesson. I decided to talk to him, noticing a banana peel he had in his hands...
"I need to recycle this banana. Can I go recycle it?"
"Well, can we work on your math lesson first?"
"I don't like math."
"I don't like math either. Maybe if we work together we can figure it out."
(silence/confused facial expression.)
"Why don't we use this banana peel to figure it out?"
I took the four banana peel pieces, formed them into three peels and we used them to count. Along the way, he did put the banana peels on my arm and over his face, it was gross, but at least he finished his work and learned.
