Consistently uses appropriate behaviours to accept or reject
Look for behaviours a student consistently
uses to indicate acceptance or rejection of an object or activity. Always respond
appropriately by attributing meaning to the behaviours. If the student uses
appropriate behaviours, verbally acknowledge the response and act accordingly.
For example, if a student smiles in response to being offered a lolly say, “SN
you are smiling. You want a lolly” and provide the item. If the student uses
inappropriate behaviours, verbally acknowledge the behaviour and shape it into
a more appropriate action using the least amount of
prompting required. For example, if a student pushes an activity off the table to indicate they do not
want to participate in it or they are finished say, “SN, you don’t want .../ SN you are
finished…. Next time you need to pack away” Assist the student as necessary to
pack away the activity.
Identifies yes/no response and finished
Compile images and videos of different ways to indicate ‘yes’, ‘no’ and ‘finished’. Include the use of speech, natural gesture, Key Word Sign and PCS. Present the images and videos to students during morning circle and label each one. Once students begin to recognise the different ways to indicate ‘yes’, ‘no’ or ‘finished’, ask students to name the response shown in the image or video.
Present
a student with a card that contains two PCS, one depicting 'yes' and one
depicting 'no', and explain its meaning. Show the student a non-preferred object
and ask, “SN, do you want …?” Encourage the student to point to a symbol on the
card to indicate the answer. Respond
appropriately and say, “SN said no. I’ll
put … away” or “SN said yes. Here is the ….”
If the student indicated 'yes' instead of 'no', model the correct response
and say, “SN needs to say no.” Repeat the activity using the least amount of
prompting required to ensure the student indicates the correct response. When
the activity is complete use exaggerated movements/speech and say, “SN, … is
finished”. Place the object into a ‘finished’ box which is labelled with
checkerboard paper or other relevant ‘finished’ PCS. Use the sequence with both
preferred and non-preferred items.
At the end of any activity where there are resources that need to be packed away, present a student with a ‘finished’ box (labelled as above). With exaggerated speech and gesture/PCS to support say, “Finished......! Put it in the ‘finished’ box”. Use the least amount of prompting required to assist the student to pack the items away.
