Once the student understands the basic framework of a work system, the individual tasks within the system can be varied. E. Behavior is communication. Work at reading the behavior and not taking it personally. Write behavior rules for the child to read when necessary. Use story webs and role playing to model appropriate behavior in social situations.
Positive rewards work better than punishment.
Teach the child ways to be flexible. The student will need a method of communication to let you know when there is something not right within the system. Let the child know ahead of time when an activity is about to begin or end, or if you are going to touch or move the child. Watch for likes, dislikes, and interests. Use their strengths.
