Rania Ghobrial’s passion and desire to help build confidence among students with Autism can be traced back to 2004. I began working with a grade eight student whose school-based staff said he regularly and frequently demonstrated acting out behaviours. The behaviours ranged from screaming, jumping up and down, noncompliance, running away from teachers to lunging at school -based staff. Although he could communicate well and had varying academic ability, his behavioural and sensory needs compounded the ability to show his strengths. There were a number of instances where the student was excluded from school and other school-based activities due to his challenges during the school day. He transitioned to my care in 2005. He moved from a Special Education intermediate class to a mainstream grade 8 class. Although he had varying skills in academic areas, it was the social and behavioural challenges that caused others to become hypervigilant around him.
Without further ado, I developed a structured program for him. He had an individualized, visual schedule that indicated in what order his tasks were presented, when his movement breaks were and when he was all finished and ready for dismissal.
Within one month, the student was able to sit and attend for up to 30 minutes, developed skills in reading comprehension, could transition to and from a break period adaptively and was completely independent during his break periods.
Fast forward twelve years later, the student has a part time job at Boston Pizza, is independently taking the transit to and from his workplace. I came to know that he started driving lessons, with continued adult support.
