Guided Response: Imagine you are no longer a new teacher, but rather are now mentoring a new teacher. The teacher you are mentoring has come to you asking for advice because a parent of a child who was recently diagnosed with ASD has come to her asking for suggestions on how she can support her child at home.
Respond to your peer with support for this parent by including the following tips:
1. What recommendations can be provided to this parent with regards to helping the child academically as well as socially?
2. What resources are available to support this parent?
3. Lastly, how should the classroom teacher support this parent through communication?
