Be
positive:
|
 |
Put the person first, the
task second. |
| |
Keep it physically and mentally
safe. |
Take
lots of small steps:
|
| |
Small changes add up. |
| |
When you're stuck, take
a smaller step. |
Use lots of channels together:
|
| |
Watching, listening, feeling,
thinking, doing; |
| |
everyone learns differently. |
Give lots of small rewards:
|
| |
Especially praise, individual
and group; |
| |
you can always reward effort. |
Stay within the attention span:
|
| |
Change before it gets boring; |
| |
Lots of short sessions are
best. |
|
Work on one thing at a time:
|
| |
Be patient. |
| |
Don't try to fix everything
at once. |
Sometimes teach the big picture,
sometimes the little parts:
|
| |
New or complex stuff when
you're fresh; |
| |
simpler or older things
when you're not. |
Be specific & concrete:
|
| |
About what you want or do
not want. |
| |
About what and how the person
is doing. |
Penalties: immediate, brief, rare:
|
| |
Use social influence only,
never physical punishment. |
| |
Be neutral during penalty,
positive after. |
Rehearse, review, repeat:
|
| |
Everything takes practice; with teacher, with others,
on your own. |
