  4. Bridging PBIS to CLS Materials • Use the same materials for the entire school • Create additional visual supports for students with communication needs in their familiar method (e.g. pictures, photographs, Writing with Symbols, Boardmaker, etc.)

  5. PBIS to CLS • Differentiation- some students will need additional visual and/or verbal prompts • Incentives- think about your students’ interests (crafts, computer,, dance, yoga, gym, recess, games, movies)

  6. PBIS to CLS • Social stories (title, introduction- clearly state topic, body- describes situation and has conclusion), taught as situation arises • Address specific behaviors • Changes in routines or situations • songs and scripts- taught during circle time • Standard class supports (visual schedule, timers, self monitoring)
