SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION OVERVIEW This guide provides designated facilitators with instructions for conducting Prezi training sessions with general education participants who have high functioning students on the autism spectrum in their classrooms. Facilitators: Must have some familiarity with the Prezi’s and facilitation materials. Facilitators may be participants, autism specialists or administrators. Participants: General education participants, staff and specialists who have an interest in learning about high functioning students on the autism spectrum and learning how to implement some effective teaching strategies for these students in the classroom. Prezi facilitators will lead a series of meetings focused on learning to use the Prezis and associated downloadable forms as an innovative resource for teaching challenging students. (see SECTION 3 for meeting agendas) ABOUT PREZI ORPATS (Oregon Program for Autism Training Sites & Support) has created an online professional development opportunity. Two online instructive manuals have been created to address the needs of general education participants who have students on the autism spectrum. These manuals are in a unique presentation form called PREZI. Prezi is a virtual canvas, a storytelling device. With Prezi, we can provide clearer contexts for information than a traditional Powerpoint presentation format. Below are descriptions of each Prezi. Prezi 1: A Teacher’s Guide This Prezi contains general information about high functioning students identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder. These students might also be referred to as having Aspgerger’s Syndrome. Prezi 2: Teacher’s Tools This Prezi contains more specific information about effective strategies for teaching high functioning students on the autism spectrum.

Note the lighter grey bar with the blue dot 1 When you drag the curser over this bar, you will notice thumbnails of each prezi slide in consecutive order. The example below 2 shows a thumbnail of slide #64, a video of a student discussing her experience with Autism Spectrum Disorder. By clicking on a selected thumbnail, the prezi zooms to that slide. The blue dot indicates the current slide zoomed in on the prezi. 2 1 PREZI FACILITATOR’S GUIDE 2013 Star Autism Support 3
SECTION 2: FACILITATOR PREPARATION FOR TRAINING SESSIONS ENCOURAGING PARTICIPATION A training group is formed when facilitators invite potential participants to attend a series of five training sessions. It is important to clarify that sessions build upon one another and that commitment to the whole process is expected. The following is a sample invitation letter. Letters should be sent out at least six weeks prior to the first meeting: Dear (potential participant): ORPATS (Oregon Program for Autism Training Sites & Support) has created an online professional development opportunity to address some of the needs of general education participants with challenging students, especially high functioning students on the autism spectrum. In order to maximize this opportunity, you are invited to participate in a series of facilitated training sessions. Training sessions will be held on (dates/time) at (location). The five 2-hour sessions will consist of didactic instruction, group interaction and practical application of principles illustrated in our online Prezi format learning modules. In addition, you will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned between training sessions. Please note that training sessions build on one another so commitment to the entire series of 5 sessions is essential. Please call xxx-xxx-xxxx for registration and any questions. We look forward to learning together. Sincerely, Fred the Facilitator PREZI FACILITATOR’S GUIDE 2013 Star Autism Support 4
PARTICIPANT CONFIRMATION AND PREPARATION Once participants register for the training, a confirmation letter should be sent along with a copy of the agenda for all sessions. The following is a sample confirmation letter that should be sent three weeks prior to the first meeting: Dear (participant): You have been selected to participate in an ORPATS (Oregon Program for Autism Training Sites & Support) professional development program for general education participants interested in furthering their skills with high functioning students on the autism spectrum. This will be an exciting and enlightening process for all of us. Your participation will not only enhance your own knowledge and skills; it will be a contribution to the whole group process. Attached is an agenda including meeting dates/times/place, meeting topics and Commitment: Participation in the entire series is important as each meeting builds on knowledge from previous sessions as well as real-life implementation assignments. Therefore, we ask that you plan for and attend all 4 sessions and that you fully participate in the Applied Learning opportunities assigned at the end of each facilitated session. Applied Learning is designed to enhance your knowledge and skills in the classroom. Feedback: Your feedback is important to us! We are in initial stages of roll-out for this project so your feedback is essential for our process of creating a useful and practical program to help participants with a challenging student population. Please use all opportunities to help us clarify, and improve this program for others. Please call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx if you have any questions. I look forward to sharing this process with you beginning (date/time). Sincerely, Fred the Facilitator PREZI FACILITATOR’S GUIDE 2013 Star Autism Support 5

AL 1: PERSPECTIVES WORKSHEET We all have different perspectives! Our experiences of a single event are all different from one another (remember the blind men and the elephant). In the spaces below, indicate the impact of a student’s specific behavior for each of 5 people that experienced the behavior. Note that the experience does not have to be first hand. For example, when you tell a student’s parent about a behavior, they are impacted and form a perspective even though they did not experience the behavioral event first hand. Social Repetitive Behavior Sensory Communication Language and Focus Area of the Behavior Student Classroom and Peers Teacher Parents Anyone else? Note that impacts can differ in many ways including but not limited to: INTERPRETATION, CONSEQUENCES FOR THE INDIVIDUAL, AND IDEAS ABOUT WHAT TO DO. IMPACT ON Student’s Specific Behavior Defined (e.g. “Tony went screaming into the bathroom to look for the frog in his throat”) Possible Interpretations Possible Consequences Possible Response, recommendation for what to do Other comments 2013 Star Autism Support PREZI FACILITATOR’S GUIDE 8

AL 3: BUILDING A SOCIAL NARRATIVE Many of the social skills that we take for granted in ourselves, our friends and our typical students are great challenges for our students with autism, even when they are extremely high functioning. Remember, social narratives: Are written to target a specific area of functioning (e.g. hand washing, sharing, following game rules, etc.); Highlight socially relevant cues from people and the environment Describe socially appropriate responses in specific situations Offer opportunity for rehearsal before acting The following steps are guidelines for constructing a social narrative. However, you may have some additional ideas to add or may modify some of the ones we suggested. You may also supplement these with simple illustrations if you have access to photos or illustrations. Student Name THE SOCIAL NARRATIVE: 1. Social Narrative Topic (specific area of functioning) 2. Introduction (Explain the topic of the story and why it is important for the student. For example, going to the doctor is important if you are sick or to stay well) 3. When and where the topic is relevant (Explain where and when a behavior takes place or where/when the student might anticipate something happening. For example, teeth are brushed after eating meals and snacks and before bed) 4. What materials are needed (if any) PREZI FACILITATOR’S GUIDE 2013 Star Autism Support 11
5. The behavioral sequence, step-by-step (you may also illustrate what the behavior should NOT look like with examples). Be sure to include actual script elements for the student to know exactly what to say when appropriate. 6. Consequences of successfully completing the sequence PREZI FACILITATOR’S GUIDE 2013 Star Autism Support 12
