Take Home Activity:
In addit ion, create a 125-250 word take home activity for Scott’s parents, consistent
with your recommendations. Using encouraging, support ive language, outline a
minimum of two engaging at-home strategies for student behavior and
social/emotional improvement, considering historical and family backgrounds.
Activity:
What it should look like:
Why?
Activity R1eward System
Institute a posit ive reinforcement system for chores or act ivit ies needed to be done
at home to work towards a reward. Work together to determine t tokens the number
of the emblems necessary to earn that reward and to what level does it need to be
completed.
This helps create a consistent behavioral approach, which is being used at school for
Scott. With the consistency between home and school, Scott will be able to perform
to meet elaborate, concise, and appropriate expectations.
Fine Motor Game Activit ies
Sit down for twenty to thirty minutes a day and work on fine motor building act ivit ies
like drawing, paint ing, cutt ing, beading, or lacing. Make these act ivit ies fun for Scott
so that it doesn’t feel like work, but a fun game to part icipate in with his parents. Use
this opportunity to demonstrate proper pencil grasps, appropriate movement, and to
build stamina. Encourage him with posit ive reinforcement, words of praise, and
excitement!
This will help refine Scott ‘s fine motor skills that need support. This will ult imately help
with his t ight pencil grasp, improper pencil grasp, and lack of stamina when writ ing.
Making the act ivity fun not only supports Scott with fine motor skills and keeps him
motivated but allows him to build fun memories with you!
