Teacher Language

 

Make a statement

‘You are touching the …..’.

‘SN has the ………’.

 

Give an instruction

‘Look at the …….’.

When carrying out any of the following teaching activities it will be necessary to use different levels of support as indicated in the guidelines table at the beginning of Number. Fade this support as the student works towards developing independence.

 

There are a variety of acceptable ways a student can indicate a choice or make a response. These include; head/physical movements (e.g. nodding, pointing and reaching) eye gaze and verbal responses.

 

Makes eye contact with two dimensional shapes

Place a two dimensional shape such as a square, circle, rectangle or triangle directly in the student’s eyesight and state ‘Look at the ……..’. The student may make eye contact with the shape for a brief period of time. Immediately reinforce the student for looking at the shape even if it’s a fleeting look in order to mould this behaviour into an intentional action. If the student does not make any eye contact, the teacher mirrors student head movement and eye gaze so that the shape is in front of the student’s eyes.

 

Reaches for, makes physical contact with and explores with senses a two dimensional shape

Repeat the above activity with a focus on encouraging the student to reach for and interact with the shape and state ‘You are touching the ……..’. Once the student grasps the shape, reinforce them immediately by saying ‘SN has the ……….’. If the student does not reach for the shape, use the lowest level of support required to assist to make physical contact.
