Situation:A “Talk About it Later” journal is simply a notepad or journal that a student can use to write down things that he wants to talk to the teacher about at a more appropriate time of the day.
I have a student with high functioning autism in my class and he often gets stuck on something that happened and wants to tell me about it in the middle of a lesson or when I am talking with somebody else. He doesn’t seem to “let it go” unless I address it immediately, and if I don’t, he starts to whine and sometimes yell. Sometimes I just can’t take the time to discuss the matter when he wants to…any ideas?
