Now that she has "warmed up" to the adult, we are hoping that she will branch out a bit and interact with some of her peers. We added pictures of the kids in the with their names just below their pictures and the simple sentence. "These are my classmates in kindergarten." Today was our jog-a-thon day....loud, stimulating and can be overwhelming. Many of her friends from her K class greeted her and walked parts of laps with her. Overall, it seems to really be helping her increase her comfort level.Michelle_special_ed_teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356359512023601865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3622294245477270973.post-20428622753777311132011-03-31T16:59:54.068-04:002011-03-31T16:59:54.068-04:00Using the pre-k support staff to introduce and the...Using the pre-k support staff to introduce and then gradually filter out the support for the student appears to be an excellent idea for a transition plan. I love to hear that you are using social stories to help support her independence and increase her comfort level to be successful in the kindergarten classroom. Social stories are research-based interventions that have led to the positive development of social skills for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Thanks for adding a down-loadable copy of the social story to review. The strengths and weaknesses of the student are clearly defined and the plan of service is precisely developed to promote success for her in the kindergarten classroom. Thanks for sharing your effective teaching strategies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
