  1. Looking at ASD Differently

  2. Acceptable Use of START Material • START Trainer approval is required to present START materials. • Those without START Trainer approval may use individual slides to represent material at meetings, trainings, etc., but may not use large chunks and represent themselves as START Trainers. • For current START Trainers, make note of the “Acceptable Use of START Materials” policy below: • START materials and content must not be substantially modified without input from START. Materials can be personally enhanced with examples, clip art, videos, etc. but, the fidelity of the content should not be altered. • The trainer version of START materials should not be copied or distributed to districts, agencies or other trainers for purposes other than EPLI content training by a START approved trainer or coaching support by identified START coaches. • START should be credited when using materials for training or coaching. • START materials should not be used by START trainers for private-for-pay work.

  3. Introductions

  4. Application Day • Utilizing the ASD to customize strategies to create independence and socialization • Creativity dilemma

  5. Looking at ASD Differently Using the ASD WITH the student rather than against the student

  6. Saying: “This will not work” is NOT an option!

  7. Goals for Students with ASD • Socialization Skills • Independent Skills

  8. Looking at ASD Differently • Respect for what has happened in the past… • While implementing what must happen in the future!

  9. How To Use The ASD with the Student and Not Against Them? • Pairing/Making Associations • Visual Continuity • Verbal Fascinations • Preferred Activities • Sensory Preoccupations • Ordering/Re-ordering • Transition Issues Utilize the Inclinations they are Predisposed to their Advantage

  10. Pairing/Making Associations • ABA: Science of applying behavioral principles to changing behavior…. • ABC: Learning Paradigm • Pairing / Making Associations: Foundation of ABA / ABC minus the psychobabble.. 

  11. Pairing/Making Associations • Determine the behavior • Pair a material or place with the behavior • Practice the pairing until the association is made • Once the association is made reduce the size of the material or the opportunity to have access to the place where the behavior can occur

  12. Examples of Pairing • Tehran – Loud Noises • Break Card • Terrance – Spitting

  13. Break Card BREAK

  14. Pairing/Making Associations • Behavior • Material or Area • Practice – Breakdown occurs here • Modify

  15. Pairing/Making AssociationsUsability – Customize to Create Utilization • Chris – Break Card – Loved Football PASS PASS

  16. PairingTerrance - Spitting • Search for Desirable Surface • Determine the Desirable Surface • Flood the Environment • Practice the Association • Association is Made • Modify

  17. Pairing/Making Association – What Will Work and Why? • P.O.C. • Pairing/Making Association – Based on student’s ASD • Create a strategy • Behavior • Material or Area • Practice – Breakdown occurs here • Modify

  18. Sets the Stage… For What is Coming Next

  19. Visual Structure • Facial Hair – Jerrod • Gym Shirt – Adam

  25. Color Coded Check In and Check Out Cards Not Enough Strategy - Not Bad – Didn’t Work Staff Lack of Understanding – How ASD Impacts Student Staff – Don’t Abandon Strategy – Enhance It

  26. Appropriately Supported - Individualized Visual Strategies • The visual strategies should bridge the barriers that are preventing the student with ASD from functioning independently within the general education setting • The visual strategies should be utilized in every setting the student is expected to transition from P.E. to assemblies

  27. Using the Visual Environment to Create Opportunities – Awakenings - TEACCH • Creating Patterns that connect for a person with ASD • Organization of an environment leads to independence • Independence leads to less behavior • Visual Organization strategies prevent the staff from making assumptions about what the students need or want

  28. Visual Strategies Development 1. Left/Right Orientation 2. Top/Bottom Orientation 3. Color Coded Schedule to Visually Orient to Environment 4. Pencil/Paper Skills to Visually Orient to Environment 5. Preferred Activities to Associate Student with Schedule

  29. Visual Strategy Development Visual Schedule Utilizing Student’s Strengths Utilize Students Predisposition to Develop Visual Strategies Impose Visual Structure on Environment Need for Order/Predictability Visual Sequence of Expectations Color Coding /Preferred Activities to Attach to the schedule Visual Sequencing Promotes Student Interaction with Schedule Schedule must be Mobile using Clipboards or Folders Impose Changes in Routines through Visual Schedule Creates Student Independence within any Environment Independence Prevents Behavior in Students
