32. Taylor and Her Fans by Cassie Jones Taylor Swift loves being a star, but sometimes it is difficult for her to be nice to everyone. At the end of a long day in the studio or after a concert, she is often tired and it is difficult for her to be nice to her fans and friends. Taylor has learned that it is important to smile at people she meets and say nice things to everyone, even when she is tired. She has learned that if she can’t say something nice, it is better to just smile and say nothing. She stops and thinks about comments she makes before she says anything. Just like Taylor, it is important for young people to think before they talk. It makes Taylor proud when preteens and teenagers remember to do the following: 1. Think before you say anything. Say it in your head first before you say it out loud. 2. If you can’t think of something nice to say, smile and don’t say anything. 3. You do not have to say every thought that you think out loud.

33. 1. Think before you say anything. Say it in your head first before you say it out loud. 2. If you can’t think of something nice to say, smile and don’t say anything. 3. You do not to say every thought that you think out loud.

34. Tier 3… Layering Supports As students start with tier 2 interventions and may not be successful, layering additional interventions is important A student could be in CICO, in SAIG, have a FBA/BIP and also be involved in wrap. OR, students could start with wrap, then the team/school would make sure the student had access to lower level interventions as a part of the wrap plan Tier 3 wrap student action plan builds on lower level interventions as a part of the comprehensive wraparound plan

35. 10 Principles of Wraparound 1.Family Voice and Choice 2.Team-Based 3.Natural Supports 4.Collaboration 5.Community-Based NWI standardized the 10 principles in 2004 2008–Revised persistent to unconditional 6.Culturally-Competent 7.Individualized 8.Strengths-Based 9.Unconditional Care 10.Outcome-Based 35 Perfect for students on the spectrum

36. Value Base  Build on strengths to meet needs  One family-one plan  Increased parent choice  Increased family independence  Support for youth in context of families  Support for families in context of community  Unconditional: Never give up P.Miles, 2004

37.  Added Benefit – You will find that LOTS of students will benefit, not just those with ASD
