Bean Bag Activity:
Provide each child with a bean bag and direct them to balance it on their head
You can make it more difficult by having them try balancing it while hopping or trying to balance it on one knee, etc.

Scenario about Adaptive Classroom Activities:
Nathan is a 4 year old in your classroom that uses a wheelchair. He isn't able to join in on the bean bag activity exactly the same way as the other children in your class. He does have full use of his upper body including his arms.

Example responses to Scenario:
  • Nathan can still put the bean bag on various parts of his body and then he can move himself around in his wheelchair to follow the movements of the other children.
  • Have him choose a body part he feels comfortable balancing the bean bag on and invite a friend to gently and slowly push his wheelchair as Nathan balances the bag.

Tissue Paper Kicking Activity:
Stick the tissue paper vertically on a soft surface.
Place infant on their back with their feet against the tissue paper allowing them to kick the tissue paper.

Scenario about Adaptive Classroom Activities:
Jackelina is an 8 month old in your classroom with gross motor delays. She doesn't kick her feet very often but you don't want to leave her out of this activity.

Example responses to Scenario:
  • You could hang paper vertically instead (hang from a mobile or tape to a table), and allow Jackelina to use her feet or hands. You also can position her so that she can look at the colors and still be involved even if she isn't moving much.
  • I would hang the tissue ball lower and closer to feet so she is better able to reach with smaller, more gentle kicks.

Comment below how you would handle either of the scenarios.

Scenarios Series #1

I am going to start a new blog series with scenarios!
These scenarios are going to be anything from how to deal with reinforcement for particular behaviors or how to reply to an upset family. I'm going to work on two scenarios a week with some examples of how people have said they would interact in them.
​Feel free to comment your own response if it is the same or different than the responses I post.

Picture

Scenario about Positive Reinforcement:
Mason is often caught putting toys in the fish tank. What positive reinforcement technique would you recommend to combat this behavior and how would you implement it?


Example responses to Scenario:
  • Start with using praise. Direct Mason to put toys in the box, when he does it, offer immediate praise.
  • If Mason went a day without putting toys in the fish tank I would tell him good job and give him a prize. Then if he continues to not put toys in the fish tank I would use verbal positive reinforcement.

Picture

Scenario about Redirection:
When lunch comes out, Bobby insists on helping carry all of the plates and bowls to the tables when it's not their job for the day. What could you do or say to redirect them?

Example responses to Scenario:
  • "Bobby thank you so much for helping carry out the plates and the bowls but it is Landon’s turn today. Maybe tomorrow we can ask him if he would like you to help him!"
  • I would tell him that it's not his turn to carry all the plates and bowls to the table that day he will get his turn to help when it becomes his turn.

Comment below how you would handle either of the scenarios.
