Demonstration with Autistic children

I transported all my equipment over to the school. I prepared and planned to specialise in demostrating origami objects to the children with Autism. The children initially watched the video demonstration first before I would give them one to one practical demonstration which seemed to work very well. There were some some children with more complex learning needs that required more help but being patient and assisting them helped them to co-ordinate and stimulate them.
The chidren were interacting the whole of the session and the outcome was a good experience and very rewarding.
