Parents can be a great help to teachers of children with special needs.

Our seminary just graduated a young man with severe autism this last year. I had him his senior year which may have been an advantage over the teachers who had him in the younger years, not because of his maturity so much as the maturity of the class. But I know that all of the teachers loved him. He was a wonderful addition to the class, mostly in spirit. He was a physical testimony before us each morning, of the gospel of Christ on so many levels.

Ideas for teaching students with Autism

Consider having an extra adult in the classroom

As a parent of a disabled child, I would appreciate a teacher contacting me to find out how best to meet my child's needs.  Read my daughter's story of how her disability brought our family into the church.

Here are some of the things one parent worries about - what would you do to help her son have a seminary experience?
