Students (and not just autistic ones) can get stuck on specific topics or items that they just can’t seem to let go. But these obsessions serve a purpose for the student. It’s your job to figure out what that is and how to handle it. In this episode, I take a look at perseverations, functions they can serve, and some strategies you can use to address them in your classroom.
2:06 - How to know when you have a student who perseverates
3:54 - Figuring out what function perseveration serves for the student
10:37 - Ways to handle obsession-based perseveration
14:13 - My favorite concrete way to set limits on perseveration
17:09 - How to handle object-based perseveration
