It is very helpful if you will periodically let
her know who is sitting near her, who is in the
room with her, and describe what the other children
are doing (i.e. “Oh, look. Sara, Hannah,
and Josh are playing with blocks in the block
room”). Sometimes she comes home from school
and she’s not sure who was there that day, who
played near her, or even who sat next to her in
the car on the field trip. I find that I have to be a
constant source of information so that she will
know what’s going on. She can tell a lot with her
other senses, but not everything.
• Please try to facilitate or intentionally
arrange situations where she must interact with
her peers. She can go a whole day surrounded by
children and never have one interaction. This is
the skill area with which she needs the most help.
