- talk to teachers, parents, and other educational staff about your strengths and challenges
- develop a personal fact sheet including details about strengths, challenges, learning style,
- interests, etc.
- sit in on an IEP meeting
- practice clearly identifying exactly what you need (as the teacher pretend to be completely unaware as a means of making the student explain themselves clearly).
- Set up situations in which the student will need to compromise ie. their favourite free time center is closed or busy. Reinforce them for choosing another activity. Try setting a timer and letting students take turns at the activity. Explain that a compromise means that both people got to play with the toy but from a shorter period of time.
- Talk about things that are negotiable (i.e. choice of activities) and things that are non negotiable (i.e. chores, jobs).
