High Priority

For Home & School
🤝
LearningScaffolding and support

Break complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps

Why This Matters

For Demo, building skills in learning and managing his time will make a big difference at home. When Demo can plan his time effectively, it helps him complete his daily routines more smoothly. This means less stress for everyone and more time to enjoy fun activities together as a family, like playing games or reading stories.

How to Implement
  • Use task analysis to break down assignments. Provide checklists for multi-step tasks.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • Demo will feel more confident approaching multi-step work
  • Increased independence in managing tasks
  • Reduced need for adult prompting
  • Better preparation for future demands
Need identified:At HomeAt School
🏠
Attention & FocusEnvironmental adjustment

Reduce environmental distractions in work areas

Why This Matters

Attention and focus are key for Demo to explore his interests and learn new things at home. When Demo finds it hard to keep his attention on something, it can make finishing activities like games or even helping with chores tricky. With a little support to stay focused, Demo will feel a real sense of accomplishment.

How to Implement
  • Create a quiet, clutter-free workspace. Use noise-cancelling headphones if helpful. Position seating away from high-traffic areas.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • Demo will complete tasks more independently
  • Reduced frustration during longer activities
  • Better engagement in learning
  • Increased confidence in tackling challenging work

🤝
Understanding OthersScaffolding and support

Use clear, literal language

Why This Matters

Understanding others is super important for Demo at home. When Demo understands what others are trying to say to him – whether through speech, gestures, or signs – he feels more connected and secure. Supporting Demo with receiving and understanding sign language will help him feel more confident in expressing himself and understanding instructions and family conversations.

How to Implement
  • Avoid idioms and sarcasm without explanation. Say exactly what you mean. Check for understanding.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • Demo will show gradual improvement in this area
  • Increased confidence and independence
  • Reduced daily challenges
  • Better overall wellbeing
Need identified:At HomeAt School
🏠
Communicating to OthersEnvironmental adjustment

Provide alternative communication supports

Why This Matters

Being able to express himself in writing is an important skill for Demo! As Demo learns and grows, writing will help him share his ideas, complete homework, and connect with friends and family. By building his confidence in writing, we can help Demo communicate his thoughts and feelings more easily at home and at school.

How to Implement
  • Use visual supports, picture cards, or AAC devices as needed. Accept pointing, gestures, or written responses.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • Demo will show gradual improvement in this area
  • Increased confidence and independence
  • Reduced daily challenges
  • Better overall wellbeing

Sleep & RestScaffolding and support

Establish consistent bedtime routines

Why This Matters

Sleep and rest are super important for Demo's body and brain to grow! When Demo gets enough sleep, it's easier for him to manage his energy throughout the day. This can lead to more cooperation during family time, smoother routines in the morning and evening, and better focus for fun activities together at home.

How to Implement
  • Create a calming pre-sleep routine. Keep consistent sleep/wake times. Limit screens before bed.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
