1. Extended Educational Programming
Extended School Day (ESD) Focus of Instruction for ESD Goals and objectives that are currently addressed in the IEP
Analysis of the IEP and Progress is critical to determining the need for ESD
If not needed, then student is making reasonable progress with current program in place
Extended Educational Programming Considerations
Extended School Day (ESD) Extended School Year (ESY)
Services after the regular school day Summer
PPCD Transition times (school breaks)
![Page 10: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Extended School Day: implications for PPCD “Best Practices” = Minimum of 25 hours per week for young students
with ASD See: National Research Council (2001) Website: www.nap.edu How many hours per week does your district offer? Do all children receive the same level of service? What continuum of services options does your district offer?
![Page 11: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. ESD: Strategy is Needed
An analysis of the IEP goals and objectives reveals that adequate progress is being made in the following IEP objectives____________, _____________, ________.
There are # objectives in an (area) which are not showing adequate progress and additional/other within-school-day services have been provided; thus, there is a need for additional instruction beyond the school day in this area.
Extended school day services are recommended for:______ weeks, _____x minutes per day.
![Page 12: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. ESD: Strategy is Not Needed
An analysis of the IEP goals and objectives reveals that progress is being made ___/___ objectives, thus there is no need for extended school day services at this time. The IEP can be met through the regular school day; the current services and duration of services are sufficient for the student to make progress.
![Page 13: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. ESD
But what if.... New behaviors emerge that interfere with learning and development Behaviors increase in severity, duration or frequency Student is not making progress at a reasonable pace Student does not maintain skills level. What can we do? Consider changing duration, intensity, and type of current programming Consider meeting the needs with various options, for example:
Differentiated teaching strategies General education tutoring Related services Decreasing student-to-staff ratio Increasing special education instruction
![Page 14: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1. ESD
After option(s) implemented, review progress If there are still difficulties in making progress, extended school day
should be considered. Extended School Year Services (TEA document handout) ESY services should be targeted to the areas of critical needs based
on current IEP objectives ESY services usually associated with regression-recoupment: not
disability specific ESY: Can be justified without consideration of regression if: Loss of critical skill would be severe Loss of skill would result in harm to the student or others
![Page 15: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1. Extended School Year (ESY)
A skill is critical when the loss of that skill results or is reasonably expected to result in any of the following during the first 8 weeks of the next school year:
Placement in a more restrictive instructional arrangement Significant loss of acquired skills necessary for progress in general curriculum Significant loss in self-sufficiency/self-help skill areas Loss of access to community-based independent living skills instruction or
environment provided by other sources Loss of access to on-the-job training or productive employment
![Page 16: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1. ESY: Example – Strategy is Needed
___________ requires continued instruction in the following critical areas:________, ____________, ___________.
Considering ________’s (child’s name) current functioning levels, these areas are likely to result in loss in skills.
Specific objectives from the current IEP to address these areas include:_____________, ______________, ____________.
![Page 17: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1. ESY: Strategy Not Needed
At this time____________ is making adequate progress in all critical adequate progress in all critical areas. He/she has not shown any significant regression after school breaks.
Student Examples Wiiliam (PPCD) Alex (High School)

2. Daily Schedules
Definition: Reflecting minimal unstructured time and active engagement in learning activities, for example: lunch, snack and recess periods that provide flexibility within routines, adapt to individual skills levels, and assist with schedule changes, such as changes involving substitute teachers and assemblies Minimal unstructured time and active engagement means that IEP
goals and objectives are being addressed throughout the day and across settings..
Begins the minute the student arrives and ends the minute he leaves Time increments should be individualized to the student Schedule is student specific
![Page 19: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

2. Daily Schedules – Strategy Not Needed
Option 1: Based on data collected_______ does not exhibit_________(behavior) is able to
_________ (transition), and is able to_________(task initiation). Based on data collected Johnny does not exhibit behavioral difficulty in unstructured
setting. He is able to effectively transition within and between classrooms and is able to independently initiate tasks or do so with minor prompting from the teacher.
Option 2: A daily schedule reflecting minimal unstructured time is not needed. Johnny can
follow the regular schedule of the day with natural environmental cues (can just include this wording).

3. In-Home and Community-Based Training or Viable Alternatives
Definition: In-Home and Community-Based Training or Viable Alternatives that Assist the Student with Acquisition of Social/Behavioral Skills for example: strategies that facilitate maintenance and generalization of such skills from home to school, school to home, home to community and school to community.In-Home Training (IHT) and Community-Based Training (CBT) Service is provided to the student in: Student’s home, environments
that serve as an extension of the home (relatives, etc.) and community settings.
Designed to facilitate the generalization of skills
![Page 25: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3. In-Home and Community-Based Training or Viable Alternatives
Definition: In-Home and Community-Based Training or Viable Alternatives that Assist the Student with Acquisition of Social/Behavioral Skills for example: Strategies that facilitate maintenance and generalization of such skills from home to school, school to home, home to community and school to community.
Viable Alternatives May include visual supports or schedules for home, communication
notebooks, parent observation at school, videotapes of staff working with student, conferences with parents about home concerns and community-based instruction
![Page 26: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
3. Two Types of Acquisition1) Acquisition Facilitating the acquisition of skills/behavior previously learned in another
environment If a skill/behavior is not exhibited at home but is exhibited at school, then it needs to be
acquired at home If a skills/behavior is not exhibited in the community but is exhibited at school or home,
then it needs to be acquired in the community If a skills/behavior is not exhibited at school but is exhibited at home, then it needs to be
acquired at school.
2) Acquisition Facilitating the acquisition of skills/behavior (critical) than can only be acquired if
they are taught simultaneously in multiple environments Adaptive skills and functional communication skills Reduction of Self-Injurious Behavior (SIBs) .

3. Issues in Generalization
If the student has demonstrated a skill or behavior in one setting but not in another, an analysis of the data must be conducted:
Cues, Materials, Environment or Setting, People Skill Deficit (Can’t Do) versus Performance Deficit (Won’t Do)
In-Home Training MUST be related to the IEP
![Page 28: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
3. In-Home and Community-Based Training or Viable AlternativesDetermining the Need is KEY Evaluation for In-Home Training (IHT) is conducted prior to ARD
meeting Analysis of IEP objectives Observation of student across settings Interviews Checklists Evaluation Example 1 Evaluation Example 2 Region 10 ESC Resource Manual
![Page 29: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3. IHT & CBT: Strategy is Needed
Based on the evaluation, IHT/CBT is needed to address_________ (identify area and objective to be taught).
OR Based on the progress assessment of IHT/CBT objectives, ________
did not meet the criterion on ________ (list objectives). IHT/CBT is therefore needed to address these needs.
Be clear to describe basis of determination & description of services, including duration and frequency:
….. x total hours of support will be provided beginning on________ and expiring on__________.
![Page 30: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
3. IHT & CBT: Parent Declined Strategy
The IHT evaluation supports the need for IHT to address_________. The parent declines the service at this time. Progress towards objectives________ indicate the need for IHT/CBT.
The parent declines IHT/CBT at this time. Consider: Support is being provided to the parent in terms of parent
training. Question: Why do you think parents decline IHT and CBT?
![Page 31: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
3. IHT & CBT: Strategy Not Needed
IHT/CBT is not needed. Progress on IEP goals and objectives is consistent across settings.
Identify viable alternative being used. Consider support being provided in terms of parent training, if
needed. Student Examples William (PPCD) Alex (High School)

3.. In-Home Training & Community-Based Training or Viable Alternatives: TEA Guidance A student with Autism may have difficulty generalizing skills from one
environment to another. In-home and community-based training is an option an ARD committee may choose for a student with autism in order for the student to learn or reinforce social or self-help skills in a variety of settings. i.e) Toilet Training Guide example
An ARD Committee may determine that IHT should consist of a person with training in the area of disability meeting face-to-face with parents and/or the student with autism.
An ARD Committee may also determine that IHT consists of a videotape made available for use by the family to teach/learn specific skills
Provision of IHT/CBT, based on individualized need of the student
![Page 36: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
6. In-Home Training & Community-Based Training or Viable Alternatives: District Examples Hire an outside agency to provide IHT/CBT Oversight by district personnel No or minimal oversight by district personnel – bill district for in-home training
services provided
Identify and train district level staff to provide IHT/CBT In-home/community-based coordinator is identified by the special education
department Hires in-home trainers and provides training and supervision of staff
Who are the in-home trainers? Attached to the student at school and also works with student in the home & community-
based settings No attachment to the student in the school setting. Paraprofessional or teacher serves as the in-home trainer
![Page 37: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
4. Positive Behavior Support (PBS)
Definition: Antecedent manipulations, teaching replacement or functional-equivalent behaviors, reinforcement strategies and data-based decision making and development of Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) as a result of conducting a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) that uses current data related to target behaviors and addresses behavioral programming across home, school, and community-based setting. PBS involves research-based strategies designed to enhance the
capacity of school to educate all students, especially with students exhibiting challenging behavior, by adopting a sustained, positive, preventative instructional approach to school-wide discipline and behavior management
![Page 38: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
4. PBS: Antecedent Manipulation
Antecedent Manipulation (Preventative Strategies) Antecedent interventions include a group of interventions designed to modify the
environment before a target behavior occurs Examples: Visual schedules, physical and visual structure, communication
systems, cueing and prompting, priming, errorless learning, choice making, task manipulation and variation
![Page 39: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
4. PBS: Replacement Behaviors
Teaching Strategies A functional equivalent, socially acceptable alternative response that
results in the same outcome as the problem behavior: Examples: Problem-solving, anger management strategies,
relaxation/coping strategies, requesting break, asking for help, or learning how to wait.
![Page 40: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
4. PBS: Reinforcement Systems
Reinforcement strategies designed to increase appropriate behaviors Examples: Primary and secondary reinforcement Food and access to activities, people, and things. Question: What reinforces you? What reinforcers our students? Strategies designed to decrease inappropriate behaviors Examples: Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) Differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors (DRA) Differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors (DRI) Differential reinforcement of lower rates of behavior (DRL) Question: What are some examples of DR?
![Page 41: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
4. Functional Behavior Assessment and BIP Team participates in FBA process and then develops BIP Question: When do we proceed with a BIP and skip the FBA? FBA identifies & operationally defines problematic behavior, hypothesizes
the function of behavior and describe conditions under which the behavior is more likely and less likely to occur and what maintains the behavior. Let’s think of an example……
The FBA is based on data analysis and identifies the antecedents and consequences that lead to and maintain the behavior.
The BIP identifies the strategies to increase desired behaviors (replacement and/or functional equivalent behaviors) and decrease undesirable behaviors.
BIP and FBA (hand-outs)

4. Questions About Behavioral Function (QABF) See Sample of QABF form (shared) Good for conducting FBAs and also as part of in-home training
evaluation Guides us to make our best guess when we are not sure what
function or functions the behavior serves. Ask yourself: Why is this student behaving In this manner? Then ask
yourself: What is the function of the behavior? To Get/Gain………. or To Avoid/Escape……….
Then ask yourself, is this a Skill deficit (can’t do) or Performance deficit (won’t do)

4. PBS: Strategy is Needed
See FBA & BIP, which address antecedent, replacement behaviors and reinforcement strategies. School-wide systems and class-wide interventions are in place in addition to the BIP.
OR See IEP which identifies the replacement behaviors. School-wide
systems and class-wide interventions are in place in addition to the IEP.

5. Futures Planning
Definition: Beginning at any age, consistent with subsections (g) of this section, futures planning for integrated living, work, community, and educational environments that considers skills necessary to function in current and post-secondary environments.89.1055(g) = Transition Content of the IEP For each student with a disability, beginning at age 14 (prior to the
date on which a student turns 14 years of age) or younger, if determined by the ARD committee, the following issues must be considered in the development
Nine areas to consider
![Page 46: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
5. Transition Planning: Nine Areas to Consider

Parent Interest Survey
What kind of work or education do you see your child doing after high school?
Where do you feel your child will live in the future?
What type of work experiences has your child had over the last few years? Job Skills?
What part of the work experiences do you think he/she enjoyed? Did not enjoy?
What does your child do for fun?
![Page 49: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Parent Interest Survey Who does your child spend time with?
Where do you see your child living after high school or a few years later?
What kinds of activities does your child participate in now (i.e., church, sports)? Community Experience?
Are there things you hope your child will start doing in the future (i.e., join a club, get active in a political group, vote)?
How does your child get around (transportation)?
How does your child behave in the community? Streets? Stores? Restaurants?

5. When Does Futures Planning Become The Transition Plan? Age 13 If the student is 13 years of age or older, transition planning and the
Transition Supplement should be used If the students is under 13 years of age, transition planning may be
conducted earlier if determined appropriate by the ARD Committee If the needs is futures planning:
Questionnaire 1 Questionnaire 2
Futures Planning is NOT the district’s plan therefore it requires parental/student input.
Autism is a lifelong disability
![Page 51: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
A Plan is Not an Outcome it is a Journey
Did you have a plan to get to your destination?
Who made the arrangements?
Did you have any input?
Did your plan change along the way?
Would you make changes to the plan in the future?

8. Communication Forms and Function
Form Way the student communicates
Function Purpose of the communication?
Question: How do we assess what type of communicator the student is?
Question: How do we assess what the student is trying to communicate?
![Page 78: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
8. Communication Interventions
Augmentative- Used to compensate for a speech impairment where speech is augmented by: Use of pictures, visuals, choice boards or voice output devices
Incidental Teaching – Structuring and sequencing objectives within ongoing typical activities to take advantage of interests and motivation of the student. Ie) Communication temptation – Placing a highly desired item just out of reach of the student to increase likelihood he will ask for it.
Naturalistic Teaching – Using communication interaction between adult and student in the naturally occurring activities of the child’s environment to promote more complex language in natural and relevant situations ie) Using snack or lunch activities to expand communication
![Page 79: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
8. Communication Interventions
Determining the Need It is highly likely that this strategy would be identified as “needed” FIE, speech and language evaluations (communication samples), IEP
analysis Expressive Communication (Blank/Example) Receptive Communication (Blank/Example) Social Routine (Blank/Example)

8. Communication Interventions: Strategy is NeededCommunication goals and objectives in the area of
receptive and expressive communication are needed and addressed in the IEP.
Interventions for these objectives include but are not limited to a picture exchange communication system, choice boards, and discrete trial training for labeling and naming (ie. Expressive labeling)

9. Social Skills Supports & Strategies
Definition: Based on social skills assessment/curriculum and provided across settings. For example: Trained peer facilitators (i.e. Circle of Friends), Video-Modeling, Social Stories, and Role PlayingSocial Skills are a set of behaviors used to interact and communicate with others and an integral part of and defined by the community and culture

9. Social Skills Supports and Strategies
Determining the Need Observations in naturalistic settings Structured observation in a situation designed to elicit a type of social
skill Rating scales of checklists (Standardized and informal) Direct Assessment such as a test of pragmatic skills Self-report scales and interviews Interview with those who know the individual SSIS, Scott Bellini, Tim Kowalski, etc. Social Skills Assessment (Hand-out)

9. Social Skills Supports and Strategies
Issues to Consider There is no one right curriculum for social skills Interaction of social skills needs and student characteristics (cognitive
and behavioral) leads to selection of appropriate strategies/curriculum Social skills objectives need to be part of the student’s IEP Social skills must be learned like academic skills for students with
ASD – Need to be explicitly taught, practiced, reinforced, and used across settings
Memorizing rules does not always translate into social behaviors, may create inflexibility and rigid adherence to rules

10. Professional Educator/Staff Support
Definition: For example, training provided to personnel who work with the student to assure the correct implementation of techniques and strategies described in the IEP.Training and Support: General In techniques and strategies to implement the IEP; also in
foundational strategiesTraining and Support: Specific A training or support service particular to this student – based on
his/her particular needsGeneral: School-wide PBS being implementedSpecific: Develop a PBS or BIP Plan for a specific student

11. Teaching StrategiesDefinitions: Based on peer reviewed, and/or research-based practices for students with ASD. For example: Those associated with discrete-trial training, visual supports, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) structured learning, augmentative communication, or social skills training Research-based practices required by NCLB; Peer review required
by IDEA 2004 When confronted with alternative or strategies that have no research
to support them, team needs to return discussion to evidenced-based practices
Determining the Need Ongoing data collection and analysis, FIE, FBA & BIP, IEP, Use data to determine the teaching strategy for certain areas
![Page 93: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)

11. ABA & Behavioral Teaching Strategies
ABA is a science in which strategies derived from the principles of behavior are applied systematically to improve socially significant behavior
Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT or DTI) – Teaching methodology in ABA Prompting and prompt fading: Types and levels Shaping: Successive approximations to a target behavior Task Analysis: Forward and Backward Chaining
See: Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) See: Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB.com)

11. Discrete Trial Instruction (DTI)
Adult issues an instruction (with or without a prompt) and waits for a response (5-7 seconds)
Student either responds correctly, incorrectly, no response, and Adult responds immediately by provision of reinforcement and/or
corrective feedback about the child’s response. Example:
![Page 96: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
11. Structured Learning
Visually comprehensible learning environment Does the physical environment make sense to the student? Question: What are things we should consider when creating or assessing
a learning environment?
Visual schedules (to create predictability and increase understanding of what is going to occur)
Work Systems (Chain tasks together, to facilitate independence) Visual supports (improve understanding of what is required and
expected in the environment) Structured tasks (helps the important information stand out)

11. Determining the Need
Ongoing data collection and analysis Data collection forms (hand-outs) FIE, FBA/BIP, IEP analysis Use data to determine the teaching strategy for certain areas
![Page 98: Revisiting the Autism Supplement Jan Butz, BCBA-D CARE, LLC October 24 th, 2013 Clear Creek ISD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7f0b/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
11. Teaching Strategies: Strategy Not Needed
The student is making adequate progress in IEP goals and objectives The instructional strategies, and accommodations used in the
classroom setting are sufficient for the student to make progress at this time.
