Scenario:You are a shadow aide in a preschool classroom. You are supporting a four-year-old girl, Sarah, who has limited play skills. She watches her peers play, is beginning to take turns, can play simple board games, and speaks in three- to four-word sentences. This is her first school experience. During the last year, she has received services from a home-based early intervention provider. During this time, she participated in weekly play dates at her house or a nearby park. With the use of a visual schedule, Sarah has transitioned easily into the school routine. However, you have noticed that her peers are more likely to interact with you rather than directly with Sarah. This is especially true at snack time. You know it is important for Sarah's peers to feel comfortable interacting with her directly.

Assignment:

you are to create a list of ten strategies or techniques you can use during snack time to help Sarah's peers interact directly with Sarah rather than through you.
