High Priority

For Home & School
🏠
Responding to SituationsEnvironmental adjustment

Prepare for changes and new situations in advance

Why This Matters

Responding to Situations is all about how Jane reacts to things happening around her. At home, understanding this helps us support her when things get exciting or overwhelming. By learning how Jane responds, we can create a calm and predictable environment. This will help Jane feel secure and manage her energy so that she can participate more fully in family activities and routines.

How to Implement
  • Preview new environments with photos/videos. Create social stories for unfamiliar situations.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • jane will show gradual improvement in this area
  • Increased confidence and independence
  • Reduced daily challenges
  • Better overall wellbeing
Need identified:At HomeAt School
🏠
Feeling & Managing EmotionsEnvironmental adjustment

Create a calm-down space or toolkit

Why This Matters

For Jane, understanding and responding to feelings in a balanced way is key to family harmony. When Jane feels big emotions, support to navigate them helps her express herself constructively. This makes everyday interactions smoother and strengthens bonds with family, creating a more peaceful and connected home for everyone.

How to Implement
  • Designate a quiet space for self-regulation. Provide calming tools (stress balls, weighted items). Use emotion cards.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • jane will recover more quickly when upset
  • Reduced emotional outbursts
  • Better ability to express feelings appropriately
  • Improved relationships with peers and adults

Self & Situation AwarenessEnvironmental adjustment

Use visual schedules and timers to help track time and activities

Why This Matters

Knowing where she is and how to get around is an important skill for Jane as she grows. When Jane is more confident about her location, she can participate more independently in family outings and begin to learn how to use public transport. With some support and practice, Jane can gain confidence planning journeys and exploring her neighbourhood safely.

How to Implement
  • Create a visual daily schedule with pictures/icons. Use countdown timers for transitions and tasks.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • jane 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

Communicating through writing is how Jane will share her ideas and connect with others as she grows. As she learns to write, support from home will help her express her thoughts and feelings on paper. With encouragement, Jane will be able to complete her homework and even write stories to share with the family!

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
  • jane will show gradual improvement in this area
  • Increased confidence and independence
