| |
| |
| What to Do and Think About Before Using Intensive Interaction | |
| |
| |
| Where are you going to try to use Intensive Interaction - is this the best Place? | |
| |
| |
| What kind of observation have you done with the person - is it enough? | |
| |
| |
| What are you going to try to achieve in the first few minutes? | |
| |
| |
| What are you hoping to achieve in the whole session? | |
| |
| |
| Is this the best time to try and start - does it have to be now? | |
| |
| |
| How long have you got - is it going to be long enough? | |
| |
| |
| Do you have any necessary resource items available? | |
| |
| |
| |
| What to Do and Think About While Using Intensive Interaction | |
| |
| |
| What can you do to engage someone - what techniques can you use? | |
| |
| |
| Thinking back to your observations - what have you learned, and what should you be looking for now? | |
| |
| |
| How do you know if the person is ready for Intensive Interaction? | |
| |
| |
| Is this the best time to try and start - does it have to be now? | |
| |
| |
| How do you approach the person - what do you do first? | |
| |
| |
| What should you be looking for as you go along? | |
| |
| |
| Do you always have to follow the other person's lead, or are there times when you can lead the activity in some way? | |
| |
| |
| Have you achieved what you hoped for so far - what responses have you had, and were these what you were expecting or not? | |
| |
| |
| Are you still being sufficiently observant of the person? | |
| |
| |
| This particular activity has been going on for quite a long time - should you change what you are doing or just keep going? | |
| |
| |
| What are you hoping to achieve in the whole session? | |
| |
| |
| How much direct mirroring should you be doing - and how creative can you be with this? | |
| |
| |
| What if the person gets bored of repeated routines - how would you recognise this and what could you do about it? | |
| |
| |
| Can you try something a little different to see how the person responds - if so, when and how, and what should it be? | |
| |
| |
| Do you still have the necessary resource items available? | |
| |
| |
| How will you know if you have achieved something worthwhile? | |
| |
| |
| How long have you got left - is it going to be long enough? | |
| |
| |
| How do you disengage with the person if it is going well and they really want to continue? | |
| |
| |
| Should Intensive Interaction be this easy or this hard? | |
| |
| |
| |
| What to Do and Think About After Using Intensive Interaction | |
| |
| |
| What did you do to engage the person - what techniques did you use and what have you learned from this session? | |
| |
| |
| How did you know if the person was ready for Intensive Interaction, and was this a good time to start a session? | |
| |
| |
| How did you approach the person - what did you do first, and how was this received? | |
| |
| |
| What new behaviours did you observe from the person during this session? | |
| |
| |
| Did you achieve what you hoped for, and was it worthwhile? | |
| |
| |
| Were you sufficiently observant of the person? Did they, or might they have done something you didn't see? | |
| |
| |
| Could you use some different resource items to better effect next time? | |
| |
| |
| Did you have long enough? | |
| |
| |
| How did you disengage with the person? | |
| |
| |
| What was easy or hard about the session? | |
| |
| |
