Motivar a los estudiantes con autismo 

When motivating students on the autism spectrum, you will need to keep some things in mind. For one, all children respond well to positive reinforcement. Be sure to praise a child every time he or she completes a task or gives the right answer. Positive reinforcement can also come in the form of giving them another try and not being too hard on them if they do or say something wrong. This helps them not to be discouraged out of fear of making a mistake or disappointing others.

El refuerzo positivo es una parte integral de la creación de un sistema de recompensa para el autismo que permita a los niños asociar sentimientos positivos con el aprendizaje en lugar de temerlo debido al rechazo constante y al refuerzo negativo.   

Encontrar la motivación intrínseca para los niños con autismo 

While external motivation, like positive reinforcement, is certainly something that should be used when motivating children, it should only serve as a short-term solution. Though there are many different types of Habilidades de aprendizaje, the most effective way to motivate children with autism is to inspire an intrinsic motivation – one that comes from their deep-seated desire to learn and improve rather than to please someone else.

Algunas buenas formas de inspirar esto es animándoles a elegir su propia actividad de vez en cuando para que se sientan motivados a seguir aprendiendo y elaborando esa habilidad. Otra forma de inspirar motivación intrínseca a un niño con espectro es descubrir qué le motiva y utilizarlo después en sus clases.   

¿Cómo sé qué motiva a mi hijo? 

Every child is different. Effectively learning how to motivate children with autism would be impossible without discovering what specifically motivates them. Learning what motivates your child can be difficult. However, one of the most effective ways to discover this is by encouraging communication with your child. This will allow you to practice active listening and ask probing questions so that you can further discover what motivates your child. Ways to encourage communication include leaving space for your child to talk. This means that when they feel stuck or have problems finishing their sentences, you should not presume what they want to say. Instead, let them finish and study their body language attentively.
