It is critical that we identify our learners’ willingness to participate in our lessons. This can sometimes be a complex task when working with learners with limited communicative repertoires. This presentation will describe ways to identify observable learner behaviour that correlates with assent versus assent withdrawal within our lessons and activities. We provide considerations for determining specific vocabulary, as well as practical demonstrations of teaching key terms such as “stop” versus “go.” Participants will leave this presentation with the skills necessary to ensure that self-advocacy skills for all communicators are prioritized.
What you will learn
- Define key terms including consent, assent, and assent withdrawal
- Describe the difference between prompting/helping a learner to communicate versus forcing participation
- Create lessons to teach key self-advocacy terms such as “stop” versus “go”
