Trey is a four-year-old with Down syndrome in your class. To support him in cleaning up his space after
snack, which of the following should you avoid doing?
A. Repeat expectations, such as "Your napkin goes in the trash."
B. Conceal your feelings about the importance of cleaning up.
C. Move the trashcan closer to his seat.
D. Accept and acknowledge that he throws away his napkin, even if he leaves his cup on the table.
my answer is a.or d.
I need help...
Why would you NOT do a or d?
after reading again I think the answer is d.
Goodness! Does your book say that you shouldn't praise him?
Most Downs syndrome children do not have significant mobility problems, so I see no reason to move the trash can closer to him.
However, your book might emphasize being calm around children, so you shouldn't be hysterical about wanting everything pristinely clean.
I don't know the answer
in your opinion the answer would be b.
I just gave you the answer.
thanks for everything
You're welcome.
To properly support Trey in cleaning up his space after snack, you should avoid doing option C, not A or D.
Option A - Repeating expectations like "Your napkin goes in the trash" is actually a helpful strategy. Clear and consistent communication is important for all students, including Trey. By repeating the expectation, you are reminding Trey of what is expected of him.
Option D - Accepting and acknowledging that Trey throws away his napkin, even if he leaves his cup on the table, is a positive reinforcement strategy. It is important to celebrate and acknowledge Trey's efforts in cleaning up as it promotes positive behavior. However, it would be best to also encourage him to put his cup away as well, as leaving it on the table is not part of the expected clean-up process.
Option C - Moving the trashcan closer to Trey's seat would be enabling him to rely on external prompts rather than developing his own independence and problem-solving skills. It is essential to provide support and guidance for Trey, but it is also important for him to learn to navigate his environment and complete tasks on his own.
Option B - Concealing your feelings about the importance of cleaning up may not be helpful. It is crucial to model and convey the significance of cleaning up after snack time. By expressing the importance of the task, you can help Trey understand the expectations and develop the necessary skills for cleaning up independently.
In conclusion, the correct answer is C: Move the trashcan closer to Trey's seat. This action may hinder Trey's development of independence and problem-solving skills.
