I realize students are supervised. 12:18:15 From Kate Hurst : We don't have a picture of a side view, but maybe we can get one added to the page. 12:18:21 From MarLisa Jacobs : Have you used a little room and had the student in a wheelchair? 12:18:33 From Christi Twilligear : We have a student who loves to stand and explore, but when we attach objects to a "standing board" he gets frustrated and tries to pull them off. His objective then is to pull off instead of explore. What should we do? 12:19:14 From Marcy Meachum : Thanks Kate! 12:19:26 From Janet Soloduk : does the use of plexi glass become a visual distraction for the "lying down" little room 12:22:12 From Charlotte Cushman to Panelists : Go ahead Kate Hurst 12:22:21 From Charlotte Cushman to Panelists : Okay — I’ll ask 12:23:25 From Charlotte Cushman : Check out this page showing tubing https://activelearningspace.org/materials/loop-turner-tubing-elastic There is a video showing how to do it. 12:24:43 From Charlotte Cushman to Christi Twilligear, All Panelists : Hi Christi — Good question! We’ll ask Patty in a little while after she has gone through more of the basics about the Little Room. 12:25:41 From Charlotte Cushman to Janet Soloduk, All Panelists : Thanks for your question, Janet — we’ll ask Patty in a few minutes. 12:25:58 From Patrice Christian to Panelists : would you place a student in a little room that is age 12 that independently mobile by scooting and is able to sit. He is in between phase 2 and 3 range 6. Has some hand use but not isolated finger pointing. 12:28:21 From Charlotte Cushman to Patrice Christian, All Panelists : Good question, Patrice! We’ll ask Patti in a few minutes. 12:29:29 From Laura Elmer to Panelists : What type of assessment do you do to determine what panels you are using for a particular child? 12:30:14 From Charlotte Cushman : During this time you can be observing and completing progress forms to track what the child is doing in the little room. 12:30:20 From Kate Hurst : The Functional Scheme is the assessment tool that 12:30:30 From Kate Hurst : During this time you can be observing and completing progress forms to track what the child is doing in the little room. 12:32:04 From Kate Hurst : IT is so important to think about what skills you are focusing on in the Little Room so you can choose materials and set the panels up correctly. 12:32:11 From Charlotte Cushman : We have lots of pictures of panels that we’ll be adding to the website in the next few weeks. 12:32:17 From Tech Support - Lowell : Today’s Handout: https://tsbvi.live/coffeehour 12:35:03 From Kate Hurst : This type of search and spatial awareness are goals in the ECC under O&M, Compensatory Skills, and Sensory Efficiency. 12:36:59 From Diana Fitzpatrick : How would we design a little room for a student who has sensitive legs/feet where too much pressure can't be placed on their legs. 12:37:05 From Melody Shipman : If you place a child in a little room, and you observe no movement, when is an appropriate time to start looking at changing the objects that are hanging? For example, do you change the objects that day, 3 days, weeks, etc... 12:37:58 From Kate Hurst : Diana and Melody, these are great questions....let's see what Patty says about this. 12:42:14 From Kate Hurst : Getting preferences are so important. Don't forget to ask the parents what the child seems to respond to positively. 12:44:47 From Linda Hinkle : This is so AWESOME!!! :) 12:45:07 From Charlotte Cushman : Here’s some info on selecting materials: https://activelearningspace.org/materials/points-to-consider-when-choosing-materials 12:45:13 From Kate Hurst : Skills that focus on thermodynamics or temperature. 12:49:09 From Mary Lester to Panelists : Would you consider doing Lilli Nielsen Active Learning ongoing training covering the material in her books? 12:49:47 From Mary Lester to Panelists : This is such useful information! 12:50:01 From Kate Hurst : The Little Room is a great place to work on the development of handout use, tactile skills, spatial orientation....maybe not where you want to work on vision skills. 12:50:06 From Kate Borg to Panelists : 5 minute warning. 12:50:59 From Diana Fitzpatrick : How would we design a little room for a student who has sensitive legs/feet where too much pressure can't be placed on their legs. 12:53:45 From Kate Hurst : Just want to mention that you can get some other information about the Little Room in the Quick Guide Equipment Selection. https://www.activelearningspace.org/images/downloads/QuickGuideActiveLearningEquipment_2021.pdf 12:55:31 From SHERRI NELSON : Love all these ideas, thanks, Patty!
