📋 EA Field Guide (How to Implement)

🎒 Materials & Tools Required

Laminated social conversation starter strips, turn-taking visual token, trained peer buddy guide.

🚶‍♂️ Step-by-Step Routine

Pre-Activity Scaffolding: Review 2 visual social script prompts before group or recess time (e.g., 'Can I join?', 'My turn next').
Peer Buddy Pairing: Pair student with a supportive peer buddy who has been briefed on communication tools.
Facilitated Interaction: EA stands 5 feet back, prompting gesturally only when turn-taking stalls.

🚨 Troubleshooting & De-escalation (When things go wrong)

If the student withdraws from peer group: Re-introduce interaction through a parallel activity with shared physical objects (e.g., Lego building).
What NEVER to do: Never force social interaction when the student is showing signs of social fatigue or sensory overload.
Signs of frustration: Turning back to group, hands over face. Transition to a 1:1 quiet break.
