How do you teach visual schedules in your special education classroom or to students with autism in general education? The way schedules are sometimes presented, they sound like magical fairy wands that will solve all your problems in your classroom, right? Wrong! Just like everything from math to behavior, schedules require us to teach the students to use them too. Students don’t come pre-programmed to use them. Find out tips for how to teach them effectively in your classroom. #visualschedules #activityschedules #visuals #visualscheduleautism #autismschedule #visualsautism #teachvisuals

Yep, I know that as teachers we all feel like we have to do everything in the classroom. But that is just so unrealistic. And really it's not best practice.⁠
⁠
You simply can't do everything...nor can you be expected to. You need others in the classroom to collect and share information with you. ⁠
⁠
Morning meeting or circle time is a great time to use as an example of this (and it can be a good place to do training on it too). ⁠
⁠
First, the teacher doesn't need to be the one running morning meeting or circle time. Sometimes, the paraprofessional might be better suited to do that! And that might allow the teacher to stand back and provide training to the other staff in the room about prompting, data collection, and to take data.⁠
⁠
Or if the teacher is running the activity, then the paras would be taking data.⁠
⁠
BUT, before you go thinking we are taking data on all the children and #allthetings ⁠
⁠
STOP⁠
⁠
We are taking sample data. I've got tons of tips in this episode of the podcast all about how to break the data collection down and make it manageable. So grab the episode and listen in. ⁠
⁠
I also have links to free resources to get you set up to try the strategies...because you have to practice data for a while to get used to it and see if systems work for you.⁠
⁠

When I am looking for ways to help others understand the importance of data, this one might do it! Because truth be told, if you are in an IEP and the team can't agree about a student's skills....data is the best way to address the disagreement.⁠
⁠
Do you have favorite sayings to remind staff about the importance of data?⁠

"I cannot wait to use this social story! ⁠Who’

"I cannot wait to use this social story! ⁠Who’s In Charge Here. Did you know it’s ok to think whatever you want as long as you don’t say it out loud? As silly as it may sound, some kids (and adults) need to be explicitly taught that. ⁠Autismclassroomresources has been a lifesaver and I highly recommend all of her resources!"⁠
