English Learning Continuum Content

Accepts/rejects using body language and/or vocalisations


Accepts/rejects using body language and/or vocalisations

Use sensory items to stimulate and elicit a positive or negative response from a student. Sensory items should focus on stimulating the five senses and could include:

 

Touch Sight Sound Smell

Taste
  • Feather
  • Hand-held massager
  • Light wand
  • Environmental sounds
  • Traffic noises
  • Pleasurable smells such as strawberry or lavender
  • Smells that are not pleasurable for the student 
  • Sweet foods
  • Salty foods
  • Sour foods

 

Offer the student a sensory item and watch for any change in facial expression or vocal response that indicates pleasure (smiling or giggling) or displeasure (frowning or crying). Respond and attribute meaning immediately. If the student enjoys the stimulation continue the activity or cease it if they reject it. Repeat the procedure using items that stimulate the same sense. For example, tickle a student with a feather and watch for a response. If the student makes a positive response say, “SN, you are giggling. You like being tickled” and continue tickling the student. If the student makes a negative response, say, “SN, you are frowning. You don’t like being tickled” and stop tickling immediately.

 

 

 

Key Assessment Points

 


  • The level of prompting required for the student to complete a task should always be recorded.
  • Observation could occur throughout the school day in a variety of activities when assessing these skills.
  • Skill checklists/rubrics could be used to assess some of these skills.
