learning style,
explore what that
style is for every
student.

Rehearse all
targeted skills
Provide visuals for

Use humor,

(antecedent)
Clear expectations

skills.
How do you take care of yourself?

Who is your support system?

Can you leave work when you go home?

Be specific in your
praise, do not
connect it to a
reward.
Stress that your
students are
making choices.
Directions should
be phrased as
directives not
quest ions.
Phrase statements
as guesses and let
students react to
the guess.
