🚶‍♂️ Step-by-Step Routine

Pre-Activity Preview: Read the relevant 3-sentence social story (e.g., 'Sharing Math Blocks') 2 minutes before group work.
Peer Modeling: EA or peer partner models the expected phrase ('My turn in 1 minute, please').
In-the-Moment Cueing: When peer friction arises, point to the card icon instead of giving long verbal lectures.

🚨 Troubleshooting & Avoidance (When things go wrong)

If student refuses to share: Refer to the 'Waiting Card' visual timer. Provide 1-on-1 parallel play guidance.
What NEVER to do: Do not force immediate compliance in front of peers if the student is visibly anxious.
Signs of frustration: Covering ears or turning body away. Move to a quiet space and review card privately.
