Communication Systems, Scripts, and Scenarios:

What cues might you add to visual scripts to support the student in maintaining appropriate physical proximity during scripted practice opportunities?

What scenario cards might you present to help students practice assuming and maintaining appropriate physical proximity across an interaction?

What video scenarios might you present to help students make accurate discriminations between appropriate and less appropriate responses?

Video scenarios might also support the student in making accurate distinctions between appropriate and inappropriate physical proximity.  Below is one set of brief video vignettes that might be used during the modeling and practice phase:

This is an example of appropriate distance. When he leans in to see the paper, he stays at least one step away from his co–worker and he does not touch his co–worker. He does not invade his co–worker’s personal space. 
This is an example of inappropriate distance. When he looks at the paper, he leans all the way across his co–worker. He does not stay at least one step away from his co–worker. He is invading his co–worker’s personal space. His co–worker’s facial expression shows that he is uncomfortable.

Are you arranging frequent practice opportunities with visual scripts and scenarios to build independence and fluency through repetition?

In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create scripts in the View2do program?
