Phone the supervisor before a missed shift
When to use this goal
For working students who can make a phone call but give unclear or incomplete information when calling in, such as no shift time or no return plan. Present levels in phone communication, not grade, decide fit; AAC or relay calls are welcome.
- Baseline
- Score two practice calls with no script and ask the job coach about any real call-ins. Note whether the student over-shares health details or leaves out the shift. Use practice scenarios first, then real workplace moments once the student has a job or work experience placement, and agree with the employer or job coach on who records real events.
- Tips
- Use this when the call content is the problem. The vocational skills call-in template scores the whole routine as steps. Teach that a short reason is enough and health details can stay private.
- Limits
- Real call-ins are rare, so practice scores carry most of the data. Some employers require a text or app instead; use tn-ef-012 then.
