Small Wonders, Big Gains: The Preschool Autism Classroom

As a guy who grew up under the umbrella of autism... it's nice to see instructors who choose to believe in these children, and I wish I had these kinds of teachers growing up as a kid. Luckily I did have a supportive family and (not to get too preachy) my faith that pushed me to believe, as the bible says that I could do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Idk what your views on this is... but God bless this teacher. I'm glad I came across the video for a college assignment... even if this was posted 4 years ago.

Thank you for this video. I have a nonverbal autistic 4 year old son. Of all of the research I have done in the past few years trying to understand what it means to be autistic and how as a parent I can help my son succeed - This video was the most educating for me. Thank you again . Teresa Allison

Absolutely heart touching video. The work done by this teacher is uplifting to view. A difference to 1 child is a huge accomplishment. Well done!

This is so inspiring and heartwarming to watch. I have a 3 year old son with autism and I wish I could find a classroom like this here in our location. Thanks for sharing...

She already was a real person beforehand

[@cubanita365]

I think she meant that she's not a baby anymore

What if your ratio is 11 children/3 adults? Most of the children are non-verbal and I'm finding it challenging to try to work one on one with a child while 2 other children are playing in my station. I'd love this classroom and the ratio!

[@karenramjattan772]

I find it very difficult to work with 1-2 kids whe 6-7 other kids are playing in the class

[@stephaniehughes3972]

My ratio is 15 special ed preschoolers to 3 adults 😫

28 month old not talking. Says mom mama juice and this. Can learn , been using iPad games puzzles, matching letters and pictures. Dose great with those games. Has eye contact with us. Has suffered 3 seizures in past year, very frightening. Suffering constant constipation . Is that a symptom?

[@pammeyer2322]

It looks like your child has some great skills! But, you seem to be sensing something is not quite right. I would take your child for an evaluation as soon as possible because the earlier you start (if there is a problem) the better the outcome! It's a win/win. You either get peace of mind that everything is ok or your child will get services that he/she needs.
