My name is Annie Campbell and 9 years ago my son was diagnosed with Autism. Over the years of treatments, therapies and schools (with my son) I have learned countless techniques for dealing with children with special needs. Through my experience in primary, I have come up with some specific tips to create a happy atmosphere in church.

Teacher trainings

I've been asked by a couple primary presidencies to come and do teacher trainings for their wards. I've decided I love this idea and want to help as many people as I can. So, if you live within 30 miles of Orem, Utah and would like me to come help educate your ward primary teachers about how to create happy and productive classroom environments, let me know! Leave me a comment or email me at Annie@Primaryangels.com.

Picture schedules

A tool I use sometimes to help kids with communication delays, are picture schedules. It is a strip of poster paper laminated with Velcro on it. Then you get small pictures of kids praying, giving talks, singing, etc. and laminate them. Then place Velcro on the backs. In sharing time, they can use it by placing the pictures in order. For example, when it's time for prayer, they would place a pic of prayer. Then when it's time for singing, they place the picture of singing on the strip. It's a great visual way for them the understand and accept the order of primary. It also gives their hands something to focus on.
