Keep in touch with Parents/Caregivers and Therapists- Internet

WHY?

A useful way to be in touch with caregivers/parents is through the internet.
Having WhatsApp Group, Messenger Groups or Shared Documents through e-mails would help you analyze the progress of the child and also see if there are changes in behavior and/or mood.
Internet communication can help you to be prepared for the interaction with this student in a personalized way. Also, this strategy develops the quality of the relationship between all the people involved.

***before applying these techniques do not forget to sign an informed consent with parents

HOW?

1.Day to day update

let the parents and therapist know what the student with ASD did in class (i.e. Messenger Group).

in case you have a difficult situation in class with a student with ASD, record and send the video on the group and ask for advice from the therapist/parents.
