Discriminates own name from other names when spoken or represented
Use familiar routines and activities to encourage students to listen for and discriminate their own name from other names. Place students' photos on a turn taking board. When it is a particular student’s turn, point to their photo then call their name. As students learn to discriminate their own name from other names fade the visual cues.
Discriminates key spoken words
Play games such as ‘Simon Says’ to teach key words such as 'sit', 'stand' and 'jump'. Model the required actions whilst holding up the corresponding PCS and/or using Key Word Sign to support student understanding. Gradually fade the visual supports as students learn to discriminate words.
Apps such as ‘Proloquo2Go’ can encourage students to listen to the spoken word from different sources. Encourage students to press icons and listen to the words spoken. Where possible, encourage students to find or complete the action of the spoken word. Ensure the words available are familiar. Change the gender and accent of the voice where possible.
Engages with an unfamiliar person
Use programs such as Boardmaker made by Mayer-Johnson to create a message board to send a student on a message within the school. Explicitly teach the student how to use and read a message board. Assist the student to locate the appropriate person, relay the message and return. Gradually fade the level of support required. Initially, students should practise using the message board to take a message to a familiar person before they take a message to an unfamiliar person.
Listens and follows simple instructions and questions related to here & now
During familiar routine activities, such as cooking, give a student simple instructions supported by a visual sentence strip to gather required items. Ensure each visual on the sentence strip is pointed to as it is read aloud and allow the student to take the sentence strip whilst completing the task. Fade the use of the visual sentence strip as the student shows independence with the task.
During shared reading of a picture book, stop on an interesting illustration. Ask students to answer simple questions directly relating to it such as “SN show me the ….” or “SN where is the …?” Initially, questions could be supported by PCS.
Listens and responds to questions in a group setting
Play motivating group games such as ‘Mystery Bag’ to encourage students to listen and respond to questions. Select an item from the bag and hold it up for students to see. Ask a particular student from the group simple questions relating to the object such as “SN what is this?” , “SN what colour is this?” or “SN how does this feel?” Provide the least amount of prompting necessary to ensure the student successfully answers the question. Immediately praise the student and provide access to the item for a short period of time. If necessary use alternative communication devices to support student responses.
Ask questions during familiar routine activities. For example, if a hat is required before going out to the playground say to students, “It is time for recess. What do we need on our head to go to the playground?” Provide the least amount of prompting necessary to ensure students successfully answer the question with ‘hat’ and immediately praise. Repeat the question if required and wait for students to answer before allowing them to transition to the playground.
Identifies and demonstrates facial expressions in visual and real forms
Each week model a new facial expression for students and name it. Exaggerate the facial expression to ensure students can clearly determine the meaning of the expression. Encourage students to imitate the facial expression and use a photographic device to capture it. Label and display images of facial expression around the classroom.
Play facial expression guessing games where students are required to guess the facial expression made by another person. Nominate a student from the group by passing a beanbag to them. Ask the student to make any facial expression they wish. Assist students to guess the facial expression made. Repeat with the remaining students in the group.
Use photographs of students from the previous activity to make artworks. Select a specific facial expression as the model for the artwork. Provide students with different parts of the face on coloured paper along with a paper plate. Provide the least amount of assistance required for students to recreate the modelled expression.
Practise identifying different facial expressions by playing the ‘Find the …’ game with students. Show students a variety of images depicting different facial expressions. Place the images in different areas around the room. Ask a student to find a specific facial expressions by saying, “SN, find the … face.” Encourage the student to return the image once it is found. Repeat the process with the remaining images.
