Sorted:)

Forget what I said about the maths thing! I ve decided the only thing that would really benefit the child I work with is a social interaction game. As he's a high functioning autistic child he doesn't have trouble academically, however the thing he lacks most is social awareness. So ive decided to make a scenario game of social interactions. It will be very personal to him using experiences he's had and I ve witnessed and had to deal with. It will be a what would you do? and what should you do? game. I hope after doing the what would you do? part we can reflect and then play the same game but with a what should you do question. I have run this past him and his father and they both really like the idea. Infact the dad asked if he could borrow it! and the child seemed very pleased that someone was making a game specifically for him. Landed!:)

Assignment anguish!

I'm finding it really hard to sort my assignment out. Ive had ideas and then thought na, can't do that. How the guy's and girls figure out something for their kids in a special needs school I don't know, but I find it really hard in my setting with my littlens for something to do. They're in their subjects every lesson and can't be taken out, and it's not my place to teach or even vreate resources to aid their teaching really (maybe if I'd been in the school for some time,some of the teachers wouldn't mind!), they don't struggle academically, infact far from it, it's the social aspect of life they have difficulty with and the only time I can find for them to do stuff with me is at a dinner time which means they must be willling to do it. Which all depends on their mood! So I ve decided to go for a game using maths which atleast I know they enjoy and probably won't mind doing at a luchtime as they enjoy playing games on the computer. I must say it's not the most inspiring idea but its the only one I can think of working. I've started making it, now I  just need to plan it! hey hoe!
