Our strategies and tools are designed for teachers to help students with autism and related disorders achieve educational, functional, language, and social goals.
This method allows students to engage in activities meaningfully. This method also helps students increase their flexibility, independence, and self-advocacy.
The CMS Approach™ focuses on:
- External organizational support to address challenges with attention and executive functioning
- Visual or written information to supplement verbal communication
Executive functioning deficits can dramatically affect the ability of those with autism and other related disabilities to perform tasks independently. As a result, they often rely heavily on the support of teachers and caregivers to complete daily tasks.
Excessive dependence on adult prompting can create a barrier to independence for those with autism and related disabilities. However, with our evidence-based practices outlined in The CMS Approach™, individuals with ASD and related disabilities can learn to function independently in various educational settings.
