Generalization:

Are you arranging opportunities for the student to practice the skill in various settings and with different people and materials?

While practice of this skill in one setting with one person several times a day is crucial, the communication of the strategies, the supports and the types of prompts with other instructors, is equally crucial.

Are you arranging opportunities for the student to practice the targeted skill in natural environments and under natural conditions?

There may be another teacher who may be your first ally in carrying out this process in another class.

Have you adapted visual supports so that they can remain in the natural environments that this student encounters now, and in the future?

Remember that your goal is not merely academic success. This skill can be adapted into a daily planner or calendar. This process can be written and placed on the student’s desk in job training so that he uses a comparable process in a retail or office position.

Are you collecting data to make adjustments to your teaching and to ensure that the student is performing the skill across multiple conditions?
