Public Notes:
Specific Adjustments

Matthew: Provide literacy adjustments, including clear and simple written language. Provide Matthew with opportunity to select/represent feelings with pictures, rather than words only. Matthew requires ongoing verbal prompting to uphold group rules. Provide opportunities of game-play that are non-competitive, allowing him to practice self-control. Ensure group is calm, as too much noise will provoke and frustrate Matthew.

Jack: Verbal prompting, and physical cues (group social rules check-list) to support Jack in maintaining attention and focusing during group sessions.
