Individualizing a Student's Schedule

After a day and a half of successfully following the schedule routine, Sean refuses to complete it at snack time. He has asked to place the check schedule icon in a bag by his schedule, remove the snack icon, and take it to the docking station at the snack table. Let's watch the teaching staff use multiple strategies to encourage Sean to complete the schedule routine. Check your schedule. We need to check schedule. Uh-uh. Ariana, Ariana. First you check your schedule, and then we can have snack. Ariana. Check your schedule. That way, Check your schedule, and then we can have snack. Uh-uh. Sean.

Marissa matched, and now she's having a snack. Dre matched and he's having a snack. Adriana matched-- You want goldfish? Goldfish. Cookies. Sean, you matched snack. You're ready for snack. That afternoon in the teacher planning meeting, the staff hypothesizes that the level of Sean's schedule is too low for him. They decide to try a text only schedule for him on day three, but realize that they may need to adjust it again to be a schedule that includes pictures and text. Let's watch Sean work his schedule the next day. Sean. I see it. I need a marker. I need a marker. I need a marker. Oh, okay. [TEACHERS TALKING IN BACKGROUND] Recess is finished. What's that?
