Congratulations and Thank you!! I know you will have amazing experiences and the students will be fortunate to have you. I work with all types of individuals myself - it's the best thing I ever did - I love it.
It's great that you are asking here what motivates and what are postive reinforcers. With the students I deal with - it's varies as well - some like verbal praise, others do not. Music, art - and just to be left alone sometimes. We have some students that sit on a therapy ball while doing tasks.
Good luck to you... If I think of other things, I will let you know.
