1Question

Tell me about a time you showed patience in a challenging situation

When supporting a 7-year-old with autism who became overwhelmed during group activities, I noticed he would shut down completely after 15 minutes. Rather than pushing him to continue, I developed a system of 10-minute focused sessions followed by 5-minute sensory breaks using fidget tools. Over 6 weeks, I gradually extended his engagement time to 25 minutes while maintaining his comfort level. This approach resulted in him participating in 90% of group activities compared to just 30% previously, and his confidence visibly improved as he felt more in control of his learning environment.
2Question

Describe how you've adapted your approach when something wasn't working

I was supporting a child with communication difficulties using traditional picture cards, but after 3 weeks saw no improvement in his expression. I observed he was more responsive to music and movement, so I created a system combining visual cues with simple songs and actions. Within 2 weeks, his vocabulary attempts increased from 2-3 words per session to 12-15 words, and he began initiating communication with peers. This taught me the importance of recognising each child's unique learning style and being flexible enough to completely change strategies when needed.
