Additional Instructions The SLAT only controls the electrical
flow to the device. Therefore, you must make sure the battery operated device is turned ON
This may mean that you need to tape down the “ON” button on the device depending on how it functions
Cypress-Fairbanks I.S.D. 04/04/05
Implementation The student activates the switch
Staff members verbally reinforce the understanding that the device has been activated by the switch
Staff members discourage additional switch activation prior to the device turning off
Cypress-Fairbanks I.S.D. 04/04/05
Implementation
If needed, staff members verbally inform the student that the device has turned off and needs to be reactivated
The student turns the device back on by activating a switch
