Special Education Inner Circle

Triggers. We usually think of the word "trigger" as a negative. We get triggered and the result is anger or meltdowns. Especially when we are discussing Special Education, behavior plans and supporting a child in a successful school day. Today, we're going to reframe the word "trigger" into a good thing. Something that you need. An action your child might be craving because it will help this new confusing world feel just a little bit easier. Resources: www.iepchecklist.com www.masterIEPcoach.com

Should we really be following our state recommended "distance learning" minutes? Probably not. Our reality in our special needs community is that we don't take breaks from learning in the same way as others. Our "recommended minutes" for learning will never be less because we are always striving to reach that next milestone that our peers have probably already mastered. Less minutes with a worksheet or working on official academic benchmarks can actually mean MORE time for reaching new milestones and generalizing our skills.
