Teaching autistic preschoolers with a strength-based approach can make a world of difference in their learning experience. Instead of focusing on what a child can't do, strength-based learning emphasizes their strengths, passions, and interests. In this episode, we'll compare strength-based learning to the traditional deficit-based approach and highlight the power of positive relationships in the classroom. With real-life examples, I'll provide you with practical strategies to implement a strengths-based approach.
