Description

In this virtual strategy we will discuss incidental teaching. This is a method in which the adult assesses the child's ongoing interests, follows the child's lead, gains access to high interest items, and uses those items to construct a lesson within the natural environment.

[00:00:08.069]Incidental teaching is simply when the teacher
[00:00:10.804]finds opportunities in the environment
[00:00:13.284]to do instruction in a very naturalistic way.
[00:00:17.314]If we got kids with autism
[00:00:19.091]or other developmental disabilities,
[00:00:21.628]this is something that's very helpful.
[00:00:23.562]Doing it naturally throughout the day in the classroom,
[00:00:27.416]sets us up to have students be far more likely
[00:00:29.706]to have made an internalization of these behaviors.
[00:00:32.951]However, we can really only use this
[00:00:34.877]when those natural opportunities do occur
[00:00:37.178]and they're not always there.
[00:00:38.869]Sometimes teachers can set those natural opportunities up.
[00:00:42.099]For instance, say we have a student who we want to ask
[00:00:45.258]when they need a utensil.
[00:00:46.955]The teacher can see that lunch is coming up
[00:00:49.422]and can hold utensils in front of him or herself
[00:00:52.659]and when the student wants one
[00:00:53.814]there's a natural opportunity for the student
[00:00:55.663]to use the skill in asking for that utensil.
[00:00:58.827]The adult, the teacher, can then provide either praise
[00:01:01.608]or correction and the student has learned in a natural way.
[00:01:06.196]Again, what the teacher wants to do is think ahead
[00:01:08.179]in their environment to where can I set up
[00:01:10.746]these natural opportunities to provide that instruction.
[00:01:25.399]I'm ready for
[00:01:31.596]snack.
[00:01:33.149]What do you want, Noah?
[00:01:35.267]I want
[00:01:43.604]cookie. Perfect.
