As soon as you see the first facial distress indicator, take action!

• STOP!
• Let the child take a break
• Tag and reinforce all appropriate behavior
• Assess the situation
• Review tasks, demands
• Break them down further
• Increase or improve the reinforcement

A reminder, as we discussed in the first webinar, when you know about TAGteach, the “break” is not Lost time or Down time. During the “break” you can observe the child and continue tagging and reinforcing productive physical movements. This makes the break time equally productive for the learner, but in a different way.
