while also providing students with a sense of control. This student was feeling overwhelmed (sensory). He’s now participating (drumming!) & present in class. s/o to Ms. Richter for giving him his own schedule in class too! Simple & effective 😀 #thejwcs #SLPeeps #asd

It’s been 2 weeks (which is about how long you want to give a new schedule/system before you make adjustments or try something new) and this student is now thriving in music! Consider a break card as a way to keep students in class/with peers

Did you know the speech development norms changed in 2018? Keep an ear out and talk to the SLPs in your building! 🙃👍🏼

[Ms. Keating @mskeating_wcs]

Student schedules don’t have to look pretty - they need to function so they: 1. Show the student what comes next 2. Show how much work needs to be completed 3. Show the student how they will be reinforced ⭐️ bonus - they help decrease anxiety 😌
