Description
This deck focuses on the idea of "checking in". Eye contact can be uncomfortable for some people. This story, knowledge checks, and corresponding visual supports teach what learners can do to let other people know they are paying attention to them. This deck contains a page-by-page story, simple receptive knowledge checks, discussion questions and advanced tips for more advanced learners, a social story that summarizes the story in one page, and two corresponding visual supports. This deck, like all others focused on behavior change, will be so much more effective if used as the first step in a behavior skills training (BST) program. Here are the steps: 1. Review this visual support. Ask the knowledge checks provided, but come up with some of your own! Think of this visual as a diving board. You need to get on the diving board to get started, but what you do with it once you jump off should be individualized. BST step 2: Model this skill for your learners correctly AND incorrectly, then make sure they can discriminate the difference. BST Step 3: Role-play: Provide scenarios and have your learners practice this skill. Some learners prefer to practice doing it "the wrong way." If this is reinforcing, allow them to do so as long as they follow up with the correct behavior afterward. BST step 4: Capture or contrive opportunities to practice this in real settings. Provide feedback and reminders. If your learner still struggles, keep practicing the other steps!
