All the videos were very well done. I am looking forward to creating some for my students. I have written many over the years but never in the video format. It is very exciting and can't wait to get started.Below is our written version of a social story Hair.
Preparation Social Story- Hair
Many people have long beautiful hair. When I touch other people’s hair, it makes them feel unhappy. When I feel like touching hair, it is okay to touch my own hair or my clip-on hair. When I touch my own hair instead of other people’s hair, it makes everyone happy.
Switches
We watched a video today about the use of switches so multichallenegd students can be included in the classroom setting and achieve their outcomes while interacting with their peers.It was very motivating to watch.
Here are a variety of items, or similar items we discussed today.
When choosing a switch or switches for students, you must consider the end goal. Can the switch do what the user wants to do? They can be used to turn on lights, fans, operate toys, operate computers, and turn on and off most any electrical device. The positioning of the switch site must also be carefully decided. The occupational theraoist is the best to make this assessment. They will look for a site where the student has a consistent and voluntary movement to activate the switch with minimal fatique.
******when encouraging a student to use a switch to perform a task, it is important to use the same language you use with anyone.
Say " turn on the light"
Don't say "hit the switch" **************
Power link +switch to turn on overhead projector, sharpener, paper shredder, music, light
