Curriculum and Lessons Vlog with Lindsay & Kim

Hey everyone! It’s Kim and Lindsay here from Staten Island, New York. We are Practitioners in Training, who have a huge passion for this field. We both enjoy teaching and helping others, and feel proud when our clients achieve steps towards their goals. Lindsay is currently a program supervisor and DSP at The GRACE Foundation of New York (a nonprofit organization that provides services for children, teens, and young adults with autism), and has been part of this organization for 10 years now. Kim was part of The GRACE Foundation of New York for 6 years as a program assistant and a Day Habilitation assistant. Entering the world of S2C has been life changing for us. The moment we learned about it, we were fascinated and knew immediately that this is what we wanted to be part of for the rest of our lives. We are excited to spread the word about S2C and help change the lives of non speakers.

We created our own VLOG on Curriculum and Lessons! Feel free to watch it for some insightful tips on how to make your curriculum and lessons more organized, and ways to make sure you have everything that’s needed in your lessons. Always try to build a curriculum on something you think your client will be interested in and always make sure it is age appropriate.

We provided the steps to organize a curriculum by showing you all how to use a website called “mindmeister.com”. This will help you collect and organize your thoughts onto a mindmap. We also shared a lesson checklist which consists of everything that’s needed in a lesson and a lesson template to make sure your lesson is in S2C format. We hope that you enjoyed the video and that these tips help you to make organized, creative, and fun lessons for your client. Don’t forget..PRESUME COMPETENCE! Thanks for watching!
