Teaching the Concept of First/Then
First-Then Marker Boards with All Done Magnets
5
• To teach this concept we often do a very brief non-preferred activity followed by a preferred activity to help the child see success.
• To make it concrete, in the beginning
we will use objects to show where and what they are being asked to do EXAMPLE: “First put in (showing a coin they need to put in), then marble game (showing a marble) .
Individual Schedules Definition: a visual/concrete
method used to tell a child
which activities will make up
their day and the order in
which they will occur
Purpose: to teach flexibility; top to bottom
and left to right progression; aid in transitions;
provide predictability; establish a routine;
teach concepts of first/then and finished;
and to accommodate receptive language deficits

• Purpose: to visually answer 4 key questions: – How much work?
– What work?
– When is the work finished?
– What comes next?

Closer look at the system
16
Accommodations for the Literacy System
Book work tasks: They are interactive, have a clear visual ending, and keep student attention.
Work Systems for Playtime
TIP 1: You can use the work systems set up for art and literacy small groups during play time with one or two children at a time as a direct instruction teaching time for learning play skills. TIP2: You can take the baby, and block work systems to the direct instruction table to teach play skills in a more controlled one on one setting if needed. TIP 3: If you have students who avoid the pretend play center or block area, etc. add items of interest to those areas to lure them in.
Block Knock Down Feed the baby, Set the table, etc

If there is a chaotic moment in your classroom (or with a specific student), the routine needs to be retaught or a new work system needs to be put in place.
- Philosophy from the work of Dr. Becky Bailey and Conscious Discipline
Work Systems for Snack Time
Snack Helpers
TIP-Everyone likes to contribute and feel important. By creating helper jobs students can be helpers which builds confidence and self esteem and helps staff prepare for certain activities.

Visual Modification: Showing when areas are off limits.
24
Other Visual Modifications to Build Success
Visual reminder to take one or two paper towels only when drying hands
A stop bucket over faucet to remind students it is not time to wash their hands and they may not play in the water
A sensory bookbag with visual reminders (a star to prompt which strap to put on first and two handprints to prompt were to position their hands while caring it)
A stop rope to remind students that the pretend play center is closed.
25
Use quick prompts and visuals to support and teach these skills. Visuals prompts are easier to fade as the ultimate goal is for students to complete work independently.
