Use peers and buddies to establish rapport • Work with but not do the work for Miguel • Helping in social situations (lunch and passing) • Help each other to stay on task • Use Miguel’s method of communicating- text or i-message Peers
Ask questions in class • Text each class period to check in and give assignments • Attention through work review, positive praise • Praise for his attention and on task behaviors • Remember, Miguel understands verbal commands but his method of communication is written----use his method occasionally too Teachers
Peer groups when possible • Teacher attention for work and behavior • Greetings and social talk • Ask questions you know he can answer • Prompt AAC to communicate with others • (i-message and texts) • Create conversations as part of lessons Satiate Attention
Miguel has responded well to social stories in the past • Use social stories proactively and not just reactively • Reinforce good behavior, every single time. Gradually fade over time Social Stories
Communication among all involved is important • Garcia should give tips and advice and vice versa. • Garcia will not tell Miguel to listen to you in the moment (That is like saying, pay attention to him because I said so) He will give you feedback on how to get compliance Training
As we enter Miguel’s world through his means of communication, we must remember that this is all new to him. He is used to us talking and he writes a response. We are now changing that to we communicate using his method. We should strive to do this as often as possible. • Expect some excitement or off task behaviors as he explores and discovers a whole new world. Precautions
