Teach students the proper procedures for accessing materials, such as raising their hand, seeking teacher permission, and then retrieving a pencil from the supplies shelf. It’s important to provide clear and consistent instruction on these steps. Additionally, consider posting a daily schedule that is easy to understand and follow, as both neurotypical students and those with developmental disabilities benefit from structure and predictability in their school day. Keep in mind that student’s with special needs may be more sensitive to changes in their daily schedule compared to their peers without disabilities.
