[Pibe-division] Student that tears everything

[Kristen Sims]

Is she likely to be an academic or more of a functional learner? If she is academic, there are a variety of positive behavior supports that can be included to keep the paper on the desk. If she is needing Braille for self-help/functional goals, I would start with words (like her name) to start with. Aph has some pre-made object stickers. Putting labels on objects gives concrete meaning to the Braille. Plus I challenge her to tear up the door! Lol

Hi,
I wanted to reach out and get some suggestions on a student. This student is in kindergarten and is a braille reader, almost completely blind. She has a braille alphabet on her desk and other manipulative in the classroom. We are running up against the problem that she end ups tearing everything she comes into contact with. This becomes hard to create things for her or have her focus on tasks. Any suggestions?
