Students will often be conducting their own research to answer their questions. You can narrow the focus by providing parameters such as giving a topic, but allowing students to choose a specific question to answer. Students of all ages tend to prefer quelling their natural curiousity rather than being told what to do.Jennifer Beza Macensky, M.S.

I've worked with teachers who have let kids accumulate points and then used them to have a party a few times a year, but I think something more immediate (and non-food related) would probably be more successful.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002835531816617210.post-27723141574387322712010-02-25T19:19:04.487-05:002010-02-25T19:19:04.487-05:00There is not enough evidence at this time to suppo...There is not enough evidence at this time to support the effectiveness of the sensory integrative package. That does not mean that future studies will not support sensory integration. <br /><br />Similarly, there is not enough evidence to support the effectiveness of facilitated communication (FC). However, there could be studies to do so in the future. I would use a great deal of caution here, though. As the Report notes, several professional organizations have taken stances against FC. I have added a link to an article that sheds some light on FC under "My Del.ici.ous Tags." <br /><br />The National Autism Center's Report recommends waiting for further research before using "unestablished" treatments.Jennifer Beza Macensky, M.S.
