Abstract
ABSTRACT The research investigates the thoughts, needs, wishes and preferences of a pupil diagnosed with autism spectrum condition in regard to her daily experiences in a mainstream early years’ setting, in a small Greek island. The purpose of this case study was to explore and provide an example of how the designing of the Individual Learning Plan could be tailored to a specific pupil’s strengths and preferences, rather than the areas of need. The data were collected through observations, intensive interaction sessions, cameras, activities and questionnaires for parents, teacher and the pupil. The result depicted the pupil’s significant sensory needs, her desire for structured routine and visual aid, and her favourite places and activities. A special bond between the pupil and her one-to-one teacher was also apparent in all the tools. The ILP was implemented for the whole of spring and summer terms and had a positive impact on both the academic progress and social and emotional development of the pupil.
