Autism and Leisure Skills to Teach
Students with ASD may not learn leisure skills automatically.
Skills can range from:
None Limited
Big Idea
Leisure skills need to be taught.
Autism and Leisure Skills to Teach
Leisure activities are an important part of everyone’s life.
Students with ASD may have limited interests.
We need to teach new activities to go with their favorite activities so they have more choices.
Strategies to Increase Leisure Skills
Some will have preferred leisure skills unique to their special interests.
If the student has a particular interest use that to guide leisure activities. (i.e. Likes music – listen to music, play music, go to concerts, Likes food – teaching them to cook)
Some activities will need to be changed to be successful. (i.e. recipe for cooking should be broken into simple steps with pictures)
Strategies to Increase Leisure Skills
A new activity will need to be taught step by step with help and practice.
Use a few clear words with visual and physical help when teaching an activity.
Strategies to Increase Leisure Skills
Leisure activities can be done alone or as a group.
Choices are important.Choice making may need to be taught.Have a list or pictures of choices. Have a variety of activities so the student does not
get stuck in the routine of doing the same activity again and again.
Big Idea
Help the student with ASD choose a variety of activities so they do not get stuck doing the same thing over and over again.
