Video #1: Strategies and Ideas for Supporting Active Participation in School for a Student without Reliable Speech
Helping Collette actively participate in her general education classes will transform her day. Here we talk through how to use her strengths to leverage her participation. Watch this video and create a strengths and strategies profile just for Collette. We can then use this profile when designing lessons for the whole class with Collette in mind.

Video #2: Understanding Communication Challenges for a Students without Reliable Speech
When we work with a student without reliable speech it is helpful to understand some of the challenges these individuals face. Here we explore echolalia and movement differences. Without understanding these concepts educators often think it is a lack of intelligence, not a movement difference in the way.
Watch “Autism is a Word” [video]
Video #3: Communication Strategies for a Student without Reliable Speech
Video #4: Curricular Adaptation Decision Making Model
It is often difficult to determine how to make decisions about how to include Collette. These questions can help the team understand how to think this process through.

Video #6: How to Embed IEP Goals Into General Education
All of Collette’s goals can easily be met in the general education classroom. This matrix helps the team determine which goal is being taught, and assessed during which subject of the day. Take the 2nd grade schedule and see how many of these goals can be met right in the context of the day.
