The selection of goals is based on increasing the participant’s opportunity for independence, community access and self-determination. Families feel heard when they provide feedback, ideas and concerns. We engage compliance through the availability of salient reinforcers not force. Ensure that learners always have the capacity and opportunity to communicate during the teaching process. Ensure learners have the opportunity to make choices and decisions during sessions.
