1. Who I Am & How I Learn

My Superpower: I have a strong attention to detail in digital tasks and respond well to nature-based learning.

The DDP Approach: I need a strengths-based environment. Please focus on what I can do, rather than what I find difficult.

Communication: I may use a communication device or social scripts when I am stressed. Give me 10 seconds of processing time after asking a question.

2. My Executive Function Scaffolds

Breaking it Down: Do not give me long lists of instructions. Use Task Decomposition, break every task into a “Step 1, Step 2, Step 3” visual list.

Starting Off: I often struggle with Task Initiation. I might look like I am not listening, but I am just “stuck.” Give me a gentle “starting trigger” or point to my visual checklist.

Transitions: Moving between rooms or subjects is hard for me. I need a 5-minute and 1-minute visual warning before we stop an activity.

3. Sensory & Regulation (My Sensory Diet)

Regulation First: If I am dysregulated, I cannot learn. Check my “Readiness Scale” at the start of every lesson.

Heavy Work: I find proprioceptive input, like carrying books or wall pushes, grounding.

The Garden: If I am overwhelmed, the outdoor sensory space is my “safe zone” for decompression.

4. Safety & The Community

Community Vulnerability: In public spaces, I might follow someone I don’t know or forget to check for cars. I need you to stay in my “shadow” and use the Pause, Look, Listen cards at every crossing.

Financial Safety: I am learning about the Independent Purse. Help me check my change and keep my payment cards secure.

Inclusion Reminder:

Ensure all vocational coaches and support workers have reviewed this sensory diet before community outings.

5. Staff “Do’s and Don’ts”

Do…
Don’t…
Use clear, literal language.
Use metaphors, sarcasm, or “flowery” speech.
Use commas and pauses to separate ideas.
Use long sentences that run together.
Provide a visual “Knowledge Note” for the lesson.
Expect me to take notes while you are speaking.
Praise my effort and specific steps completed.
Use generic praise like “Good boy” or “Well done.”
