COMMUNITY BASED INSTRUCTION

Frequent direct instruction of students to perform a variety of skills required to access their community.  Systematic and appropriate use of instructional techniques based upon the student’s performance and upon his or her need for specific instructional techniques must be employed.  The instruction must facilitate learning and must be faded systematically over time to increase the student’s independence.  Instruction must occur frequently enough to provide the student with the opportunity to learn to participate in new activities.
