Autistic learning strategies include many different options and some are discussed her and others in other articles.
Letting children with autism wear padded weighted vest can help some hyperactive children that fidget a lot become calm, because the pressure that comes from wearing the weighted garment helps in calming the nerves. To achieve the best outcome in using the vest, it must be worn for a maximum of thirty minutes only and you would need to take off the vest for a couple of minutes before you make your child wear it again. This would prevent your child's nervous system from adapting to the vest.
Some children with autistic learning disorder have better response, speech and eye contact if the one teaching interacts with them at the same time while they are on a swing, swinging back and forth, or while getting rolled up inside a mat. They improve eye contact and speech and these are fun games that allow your child to enjoy and learn at the same time, some children may not be up to it so it should never be forced.
Some children with autism are much better at singing than speaking and may have a better response when words are being sung to them. Some children with severe sensitivity to sound will have a response if the one teaching them speaks to them in a low and calm whisper that is still audible.
Some children with autism are unable to simultaneously process auditory and visual inputs, because their nervous system is immature. They are what you call "Mono-channel" and they are unable to hear and see all at once. They need to be provided with either a task that entails visual processes or a task that entails auditory processes.
For some nonverbal children, it is a lot easier for them to touch and feel things and more often than not they mainly rely on their sense of touch. The best way to teach letters to them is by allowing them to feel the plastic letters. These children are able to learn what their daily routine is by letting them feel certain objects a few minutes before a certain activity. A good example would be letting your child hold a spoon a couple of minutes before lunch.
Placing the computer keyboard close to the monitor can help some children with autistic learning because it allows them to simultaneously view the monitor and the keyboard. It would be a bigger challenge for them to remember if they still need to look up at the screen after hitting a key on the keyboard every time.
