6 Effective Strategies for Fading Adult Assistance
Increasing Responsibility, Decreasing Reliance
Are your students overly dependent on paraeducators and other adults? Do you want to empower your students to participate more independently with their peers in school activities?
Join Erika to revolutionize your team’s approach to student support. She will provide you with concrete tools and strategies that you can turnkey to your team effortlessly.
This seminar begins by exploring the trend and impact of excessive paraeducator reliance on a student’s academic progress, inclusion, and peer interactions. Erika will stress the importance of explicitly training school teams in strategies aimed at reversing this trend. She will share 6 main categories of strategies: presuming competence, inclusion in general education, more wait time, voice through choice, prompt fading, and participation in chores and ADLs. She will demonstrate through case vignettes and videos a variety of actions that every adult on your team can implement within each of the 6 categories. You will learn to establish a common language for fading assistance using a hierarchy table of levels of support. As a participant, you will receive a concise Fading Adult Assistance Slide Deck for immediate use during your school in-services.
Leave this seminar equipped with practical tools and concrete strategies to support student autonomy and success the very next day! Closed Captioned in English.
