Go to the meeting spot when separated
When to use this goal
For older students who go to large venues (a stadium, a fair, a mall) with family or staff and do not know what to do if separated. Present levels in remembering a planned spot and in using a phone decide fit. The plan is set at the start of every outing.
- Baseline
- Run 4 planned separations (staff out of view but watching) across 2 outings. Count correct when the student reached the spot and checked in by phone. Every separation must end safely, so the target is all four.
- Tips
- Pick meeting spots that do not move (an entrance, a large sign), and photograph them. Add the group leader's number as a favorite. Families can use location sharing if they choose.
- Limits
- Practice separations are short and calm. Students without a phone need a help card and the fn-cs-029 plan.
