203. Unlocking Motivation: Teaching Kids on the Spectrum

In this episode, host, Shannon Urquiola gets into strategies for keeping your autistic child motivated to learn. Many children on the spectrum aren't driven by traditional praise or external rewards, so it's essential to tap into what truly motivates them—their interests and strengths. We'll explore using your child's favorite activities and skills to make learning fun and meaningful. From tailoring lessons to their learning style to pacing new information in a way that feels comfortable, this episode is packed with practical tips and real-life examples to help you teach in a way that works for them. Whether you're tackling homework or just everyday learning, you'll walk away with actionable strategies to boost your child's motivation and engagement. Tune in for insights that can make learning a more positive and successful experience for you and your child! 🌟 Leave a Review: If this episode resonates with you, share your thoughts and experiences by leaving a review.

Om Podcasten

This podcast was started for parents and caregivers raising autistic children but it has evolved and we have listeners across the world who are relatives of someone with autism, special education teachers, and other professionals. My son Jordan was diagnosed with autism when he was 5 years old, now 28. I have been where you are. Jordan will likely never live independently. I am in the trenches every day, just like you. Each week I talk about topics that directly impact your life and go hand in hand with your unique parenting journey. info@notyouraverageautismmom.com
