She takes the viewer on a trip to Walmart, and simulates sensory overload on what she calls a "bad day." The camera becomes pixelated and the noise level increases drastically.

27  Focusing on Relationships  Evaluating Curriculum and Instruction  Tapping into Interests  Teaching New Skills  Offering Safe Spaces and Breaks

28  Common Causes of challenging behavior in students with Autism include:  Curriculum that is dull and lacks variety  Curriculum that is not age appropriate  Instruction is a poor match for learning style  Not enough opportunities for conversation, communication and choice making  Not enough social interaction (too much 1:1)  Not enough fun or joy in the day

29  Activity Schedules  First/Then Boards  Choice Menus  Written Words

30  Visual cues  Social stories – stable ones that can be laminated and used over and over and over and “on the fly” ones  Visual schedule (see next few slides)  Gestures  Timers  First______ then____________  High tech and low tech work equally well

44 I will know that it is time to tell the class: When Mrs. Kintner hands me the Doodlebot: Mrs. Kintner needs to give us directions or teach us how to do something. While she is talking we all need to listen quietly!! When Mrs. Kintner asks for the Doodlebot back I know that it is time for us to get to work? I will say to everyone: Please get to work now!!!

53 Thumb up = This IS inclusion Thumb down = This is NOT inclusion

54 Statement: Inclusion is real estate (meaning, it is enough for a student to simply BE in the gen ed classroom) Problems: It is more than an extra chair in the room; a student needs to be an interregnal part of the class, feel welcome from the very beginning, and have a clear purpose for the integration. When the student is not engaged with the content, it is not OK to simply let him color or NOT engage with the content. What can we do to ensure engagement with the content? Rewrite: Inclusion is more than just real estate.

55 Statement: Inclusion ensures all students have the same learning targets. Problems: Students are included for all different types of reasons. Targets may need to be modified to address the needs of the student. Rewrite: In an inclusion classroom, all students have clear learning targets, but the targets may be modified.

56  Statement: Successful inclusion depends on frequent communication and planning among staff.  Problems: None

57  Statement: Inclusion is only possible when class sizes are manageable.  Problems: There is always room for one more. Find a way, make a way—over, under, around, or through. Presume competency. Remember the Habits of mind.  Rewrite: Inclusion can benefit all students regardless of class size and manpower.
