1. Model Asking for Permission

ex: “Can I give you a hug or a high-five?”

2. Model Self-Talk

ex: “I listen better when my body is moving, so I’m going to get a wiggle cushion.” “I feel upset when you won’t play my game idea, let’s choose a compromise.”

3. Provide Options

ex: “It looks like your body is moving fast! Would you like to go get some water or do some hand squeezes to help slow it down?”
