Listen "Tips to Promote Independence"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode host, Lisa Goodell, speaks with Jenn Adams of Teach Love Autism. She shares some fantastic tips about how we can encourage our students to become as independent as possible, in and out of the class. We talk about why this is important, how she sets up her room with independent stations, and how to train others (such as paraprofessionals) to buy-in to this method.We also discuss TEACCH tasks and using visuals, helping parents with task analysis to build independence at home, and how Jenn is able to have staff training during the school day when she teaches them about prompt hierarchies and utilizes her staff competency checklists.Links & Resources:TEACCH websiteJenn's blog post: 8 Questions about Independent Work Task Systems Jenn's blog post: Differentiating Independent Work StationsVideo showing Types of PromptsAvailable in Jenn's TpT Store: Independent Work Starter Kit and Errorless File FoldersJenn's websiteJenn on Instagram: @teachloveautismJenn on FacebookJenn on PinterestGet the full show notes here.
