INTERVENTION STRATEGIES USED ON A STUDENT WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER IN THE MAINSTREAM CLASS AT STAR INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL BANGKOK

Students with ASD commonly experience challenges in their daily lives, such as poor concentration, academic difficulties, tolerating mistakes, understanding complex language and following directions, and other behavioral difficulties. The trial and error of different teaching intervention strategies in finding the one that fits the child could cause a loss of opportunities for the child to learn things. With its potential to bring about positive change, this research study determines the best two intervention strategies for teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents in supporting students with ASD in dealing with these challenges in classroom settings. This study can help teachers and learning support assistants/paraprofessionals decrease stress in supporting students with ASD and help them become effective teachers. In addition, the study discusses the different classroom intervention strategies we can use in teaching students with ASD in mainstream classes and promoting inclusion among students with disabilities in learning with students with no disabilities.
