This webpage is currently being redesigned. We are updating aspects of our webpage to reflect our official Integrated status. Some sections will temporarily be removed and updated. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Length of instructions -Keep instructions short e.g. " go and get your coat and bag and then line up at the door" could be broken down into " go and get your coat", "now get your bag"' and then "line up at the door".
Speed of Speech-Slow down your speech and allow lots of time for the child to process what has been said.
Repetition-Repeat information and instructions, but do not change the language when repeating what has already been said.
Vocabulary-Be aware of the words you are using-using unfamiliar or complex vocabulary will make it more difficult for the child to understand what is being said.
Attention -Ensure you have the child's attention before giving an instruction by saying their name and gain eye contact.
