Generally speaking, early intervention institutions for autistic children must have the following characteristics: high professional level, correct direction of running schools and scientific training methods. Such an institution is the best. So how can parents make a specific understanding of an institution in these aspects and make the best judgment? We should pay attention to the following points-first, when choosing an institution, parents should first understand the concept of this institution, especially the concept of institutional leadership, that is, what he thinks is the overall concept of the institution. The training goal of autistic children is different from that of normal children. It is not how high the test scores can be, nor how far the research and exploration can go. More is to promote the development and progress of autistic children through training, and finally help them integrate into society. Second, autism treatment institutions with good teaching scale are not necessarily large. According to the characteristics of autistic children, small class teaching is suitable for intervention. Therefore, when choosing an institution, we need to know its views on the contradiction between "quantity" and "quality". At present, the teacher-student ratio in many foreign institutions is 1: 1, but its fees are very high. This is not possible in our country, but we emphasize that the closer the teacher-student ratio is, the better. Generally, it is 1: 2 or 1: 3. If 1: 6 occurs, such an institution can be said to be a bad institution. Third, the teaching method parents walk into an institution, don't look at how beautiful its house is, and don't look at how perfect its greening is. These are secondary. You should observe how they teach. If you don't have the opportunity on the spot, you should also understand the teaching methods with their teachers. The teaching of autistic children should be "light knowledge and heavy ability". For example, to teach children what is green is not only to find out which is green in a pile of patterns, but also to know that you can cross the road when the traffic lights are green in daily life. Netizen A Yan: I have just entered primary school for a week, and I am worried that the teacher will persuade me to transfer or drop out of school. After only one week, the teacher reflected many problems. First of all, I can't keep up with class. Although I taught him before, he soon forgot a lot, and the teacher didn't remember much about his homework. Secondly, when you go to the toilet after class, you always push others or step on other students' feet. I know the child wants to go to the bathroom first. They want to be the first in everything, or they don't want to stop and surpass them. Thirdly, the children didn't listen to instructions when they went to physical education class, and they ran around on the playground, and the teacher didn't listen. It happens that the PE teacher is an older female teacher, who can't keep up with the children and her voice is very low. She advised her children not to go to physical education class. How can you expect children to do this? When he went to physical education class, I had no choice but to accompany him and supervise the children. There may be two reasons why children have to go to school by themselves. First, other normal children don't want to play with children, and children don't know how to play. Go home and let him play with the children? He said no, just play by yourself. Give us a headache! People who know autism can understand us, but they are very unfriendly to those who don't! And we can't explain them all. We all know that teachers like to take good care of their children. According to the doctor, many similar children were finally returned, so they could not go to normal schools, but to schools with mental retardation. I am so upset and worried! ! In fact, we are also very entangled in whether our children should go to school this year. I'm afraid he can't adapt to normal primary school teaching, but what the doctor said is also very reasonable-you don't know what that autistic child will be like in the future. What should I do if it's the same next year? Therefore, we can only take it one step at a time. Going to school a year earlier can give us a year of flexibility. Although the school has only started for a week, the children have many problems, but they have also changed a lot. In the past, we were all faced with the same star in the training institution, and we were also a child at home, so there was no condition for him to play with normal children. Now, he has entered the primary school and is really with normal peers, hoping that this will exercise his ability to adapt to society. In order to better integrate him into the new environment, although he left the special training of the organization, we still insisted on strengthening him at home. He often simulates various scenes for him to see and let him learn how to deal with them. We know that many situations in reality are unpredictable, which can only solve some problems. However, we can only work so hard, because the children who are most worried are advised to go home by the school for various reasons. In that case, I really don't know what to do. Voice: Confusion and helplessness of school-age autistic children in China If "early detection and early intervention" is the "timely rain" for autistic children, then when autistic children approach school age, the question of "where to go" becomes a "tug-of-war". First, the "seesaw battle" between autistic children and normal children. Autistic children already have various obstacles, such as language barriers, communication barriers, social barriers and so on. After a series of professional intervention training, children who enter autism treatment institutions before school may have improved these obstacles to some extent. However, when autistic children leave the education of special institutions and enter integrated education, it also means that they leave intervention and reinforcement and need to face a strange world. The first thing they need to face is the strange eyes of "normal children". Because the obstacles caused by autism will be compared to the greatest extent, followed by teasing, teasing and even discrimination. What's more, due to such isolation and exclusion, the self-esteem of autistic children is hit, which makes him more inferior, more rebellious, more far away from the group, and more like to have opposition with the group. Then such opposition made him unwilling to study and participate in group activities. In this vicious circle for a long time, the previously strengthened ability of autistic children will gradually deteriorate and may eventually return to the original point. Second, the "tug-of-war" between special education and mainstream education At present, China promotes integrated education and implements the teaching of "learning in regular classes". Generally speaking, in primary education, there are about 40-50 students in a class. Most of the teaching modes are taught by one teacher, and dozens of children attend classes together. There are basically no teaching assistants or special teachers for special children. However, in developed countries, it is different. Every school requires a "resource class". The so-called "resource class" refers to a special class Children with various obstacles in this class are managed by special personnel and taught by special teachers. Children spend part of their time in this "resource class" and part of their time returning to ordinary classes to receive integrated education. After autistic children enter normal primary schools, it often happens that teachers have to take care of forty or fifty children's classes, and it is impossible to pay attention to him alone; Students of the same age take care of their own studies, and no one tells them how to treat autistic students; Autistic children themselves are helpless, and even they will feel extremely discriminated against in such classes; Gradually become "except the parents of autistic children, others can't help him", and ordinary primary schools don't let parents accompany them; In the end, the child could not adapt and had to drop out of school and go home.
