Gains attention |
Makes known a need or emotion |
Gains attention
Shape reflex vocalisations made by a student
into an intentional attempt to gain attention by immediately
responding and
interacting for a short period of time before moving away. When the student
makes another reflex vocalisation, respond in the same way so they begin to
make these vocalisations intentionally.
Makes known a need or emotion
When engaging in an activity such as listening to a favoured song, respond to a student’s facial expression and/or reflex vocalisation by attributing an emotion to them. For instance, when the student smiles or makes a reflex vocalisation say, “SN, I can see you are happy because you are smiling and laughing! You like this song!” A sign and/or PCS, such as ‘happy’ can be used to support this.
Shape a student’s reflex vocalisation or movement into an intentional action that will meet a specific need. For example, if a student bangs the table, consistently respond at meal times by saying, “SN is hungry. You want lunch.” Immediately meet the student’s need by providing them with food to eat.
