Schools serve an essential function for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and complex needs. However, school-based instruction may be interrupted due to pandemics, natural disasters, and school shootings, and as a result, schools are forced to stop traditional services and begin teaching students in their homes. Fortunately, distance education strategies are available to mitigate brick and mortar interruptions. When rural schools close, they face unique challenges, such as proximity to students, and technology limitations. In this article, we describe strategies for teachers to develop instructional materials, communication supports, and behavioral supports. We also describe how caregivers might provide support, and how to teach caregivers the skills necessary for effective support implementation.

在 COVID-19 和学校停课期间为患有自闭症谱系障碍和复杂需求的学生提供远程教育支持

学校为患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 和复杂需求的个人提供基本功能。但是，由于流行病、自然灾害和学校枪击事件，学校教学可能会中断，因此，学校被迫停止传统服务并开始在家中教学生。幸运的是，远程教育策略可用于减少实体中断。当农村学校关闭时，他们面临着独特的挑战，例如靠近学生和技术限制。在本文中，我们描述了教师开发教学材料、交流支持和行为支持的策略。我们还描述了看护者如何提供支持，以及如何向看护者传授有效支持实施所需的技能。
