7 Augmentative Communication System Visual Support for Communication Priming with Visual Support Prepare for Change The Seemingly Obvious The teacher who does not understand that it is necessary to teach autistic children seemingly obvious things will feel impatient and irritated -Hans Asperger Skills to Teach What is it about the situation that comes naturally to everyone else but is missing for this person? Why is it that others do not show the same behavior? What is it that has not occurred to me to teach? That is the seemingly obvious. That is the thing to teach. 7
8 The Hidden Curriculum Context Context Context Locker room rules If there are people taking showers or changing their clothes, do not stare at them or make comments about their bodies It is not appropriate to touch others in the restroom or shower Change into your P.E. clothes in the locker room, not the hallway. Myles, Trautman, Schelvan, 2004, p.55 What vs. Why & Skill vs. Understanding Eye contact (stare at you) Why do we give compliments? I don t know, the teacher said so. Pants Masturbation IEP Development Requirements 614(d)(3)(A) Requires the IEP Team consider: Strengths of the child Concerns of the parents Evaluation results Academic, developmental, and functional needs of the child [emphasis added] The Purpose of Special Education (IDEA) To ensure that all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique need and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living (emphasis added) IDEA Findings Sec 601 Almost 30 years of research and experience has demonstrated that the education of children with disabilities can be made more effective by (A) having high expectations for such children and ensuring their access to the general education curriculum in the regular classroom, to the maximum extent possible, in order to (i) meet developmental goals and, to the maximum extent possible, the challenging expectations that have been established for all children; and (ii) be prepared to lead productive and independent adult lives, to the maximum extent possible; 8

14 Select Key UCC Items from UCC Areas Bryan- Selected UCC Items Select key UCC items for each of the Selected UCC areas. Choose items that are essential (necessary for progress) and developmentally appropriate. Emphasize items that are more pivotal (building blocks for additional skills). Avoid selecting redundant items. [1] Mindblindness [5] Has difficulty making or keeping friends [14] Has eccentric or intense preoccupations [18] Has problems handling transition and change [19]Has strong need for closure or difficulty stopping a task before it is completed [29] Has difficulty asking for help [39] Has difficulty talking about others interests [76] Is easily stressed-worries obsessively [87] Has difficulty identifying, quantifying, expressing, and/or controlling emotions Bryan s Intervention Ziggurat Structure and Visual /Tactile Supports Cafeteria Use of ear plugs or headphones to dampen noise level Shortening time in the cafeteria Use of a calming activity prior to lunch (seek advice of occupational therapist for activities that would be calming to Bryan) Sensory Differences and Biological Needs Thinking in Levels Bryan- Selected UCC Items Structure and Visual /Tactile Supports Sensory Differences and Biological Needs [1] Mindblindness [5] Has difficulty making or keeping friends [14] Has eccentric or intense preoccupations [18] Has problems handling transition and change [19]Has strong need for closure or difficulty stopping a task before it is completed [29] Has difficulty asking for help [39] Has difficulty talking about others interests [76] Is easily stressed-worries obsessively [87] Has difficulty identifying, quantifying, expressing, and/or controlling emotions 14
15 Cafeteria Prime Bryan prior to lunch to remind him of coping skills for this setting (e.g., ask help, access to safe place, ear plugs,) Use trained peer buddies during lunchtime Thinking in Levels Structure and Visual /Tactile Supports Sensory Differences and Biological Needs Bryan - Interventions Do not ask Bryan to independently resolve conflicts with peers. He does not have the skills and will be overwhelmed by the demands of the task. Assist Bryan to resolve conflicts and teach him the process gradually. Teach Bryan the warning signs of teasing or bullying. Use role play, video, and scenarios. Bryan - Interventions Use social autopsies following any bullying episode. This is a strategy where each part of a situation is analyzed in order to understand what went wrong. Reinforce Bryan for removing himself from conflict using strategies outlined for him Thinking in Levels Bryan- Selected UCC Items Structure and Visual /Tactile Supports Sensory Differences and Biological Needs [1] Mindblindness [5] Has difficulty making or keeping friends [14] Has eccentric or intense preoccupations [18] Has problems handling transition and change [19]Has strong need for closure or difficulty stopping a task before it is completed [29] Has difficulty asking for help [39] Has difficulty talking about others interests [76] Is easily stressed-worries obsessively [87] Has difficulty identifying, quantifying, expressing, and/or controlling emotions 15
