No one form of communication will meet all needs or all social situations � Teaching a combination of different modes is necessary ◦ Examples: Vocalization, body movements, pointing, facial expressions, nodding, gestures, use of object symbols, picture symbols, manual signs ◦ Morgan: A multiple-mode communicator! ◦ http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=uh.

Steps in Ecological Assessment Process • Step 1: Plan with Student & Family – Person-centered Planning • Step 2: Summarize what is known about the student – Record Review, IEP Review • Step 3: Encourage Self-Determination/ Assess Student Preferences – Preference Assessment • Step 4: Assess student’s instructional program – Daily Schedule Analysis – Task Analyses – Other Assessments • Step 5: Develop ecological assessment report – To inform IEP: PLAAFP, Goals & Objectives, Interventions

Review from Preference Assessment Assignment • Selecting Forms- How you will display the choices to the student – Rationale: Why did you select that form…. based on previous experience? Why not other forms? • Operationally Defining Behaviors – Remember must be measurable & observable – Engaged? • Define more concretely • Summary – Write them professionally, but in a way that is jargon-free. – Focus is on presenting to a parent at an IEP meeting

Review the task analysis on the data form so that steps … 1. 2. 3. 4. Are stated in terms of observable behavior Result in a visible change in the product or process Are ordered in a logical sequence Are written in the second-person singular so that they could serve as verbal prompts (if used)…example: Step #7 - “Go sit on rainbow rug” 5. Use language that is not confusing to the student, with the performance details that are essential to assessing performance enclosed in parentheses Ex.

Stimulus Control • Stimulus control refers to change in the likelihood of a response

Stimulus Control • Stimulus control refers to change in the likelihood of a response when a stimulus is presented. • The stimulus is a signal that if the response is performed, a predictable outcome (consequence) is likely. • If a person responds one way in the presence of a stimulus and another in its absence, than that stimulus is said to “control” behavior. • A traffic light is an example
