Answer Key
Answer Key: Self Regulation Data Sheet
Objective 1: Social Communication Language
• Curriculum & Rating Scale Used:
– Expect a named evidence-based curriculum (e.g., Zones of Regulation, Social Thinking, Everyday Speech).
Thought: Ensures the observer knows which framework and rubric are in use.
• Rating (1–5):
1 = No understanding or demonstration
2 = Emerging understanding; needs maximal cues
3 = Solid understanding; demonstrates skill with moderate cues
4 = Generalizes skill in varied settings with minimal cues
5 = Independent mastery across contexts
Thought: Defines anchor points so raters score consistently.
• Description of Demonstration:
– Provide a specific example of target language or behavior (e.g., “Student labeled feeling ‘frustrated’ when turned away from preferred activity”).
Thought: Concrete evidence supports chosen rating.
• Use of Moderate Cues (Y/N & Type):
– Moderate cues include brief verbal hints or simple gestural prompts (e.g., “What’s your feeling?” while pointing to chart).
Thought: Tracks the level of adult support required for skill execution.
• Notes:
– Record any contextual factors (peer dynamics, sensory triggers) or atypical responses.
Thought: Qualitative details inform next instructional steps.
Objective 2: Expressing Emotions When Dysregulated
Expected outcome: Student expresses an emotion, verbally or nonverbally, in 3 out of 5 opportunities with adult prompting and visual support.
For each opportunity, the observer should record:
- Context: Briefly describe the dysregulation trigger (e.g., academic task, peer conflict).
Thought: Identifies antecedent to behavior. - Prompt Level:
- Independent – no prompt needed
- Visual – shows emotion chart/card
- Verbal – gives spoken reminder (e.g., “Use your words.”)
- Physical – hand-over-hand or full physical guidance
Thought: Differentiates prompt intensity to track fading progress.
- Emotion Expressed:
- Verbal – student names feeling (“I’m angry”).
- Nonverbal – points to corresponding picture or uses sign.
Thought: Confirms modality of expression.
- Visual Support Used (Y/N):
Thought: Monitors reliance on visual aids. - Success (Y/N):
– Mark Y if the student expresses an emotion within the opportunity window, regardless of prompt level.
Thought: Aligns data with the 3/5 success criterion.
Summary:
– Count the number of Y’s. A total of ≥3 indicates the objective was met during the session.
Thought: Provides a quick check of session mastery.
Objective 3: SDQ Score Progress
• Baseline Emotional Scale Score & Baseline Peer Problem Scale Score:
– Use scores from initial SDQ assessment at IEP start.
Thought: Establishes reference point.
• Current Emotional Scale Score & Current Peer Problem Scale Score:
– Use most recent SDQ data.
Thought: Reflects growth or need for further intervention.
• Percent Change Calculation:
– Formula: ((Current – Baseline) ÷ Baseline) × 100
– Example: ((12 – 10) ÷ 10) × 100 = 20% increase
Thought: Quantifies progress toward the ≥10% target.
• Notes:
– Document relevant interventions or environmental factors that may explain score shifts.
Thought: Contextualizes data for team review.
Overall Session Observations & Next Steps
• Patterns & Trends:
– Note if prompts are decreasing, spontaneous language is increasing, or visual support reliance is changing.
Thought: Highlights instructional successes or areas needing adjustment.
• Recommendations:
– Suggest prompt fading strategies, peer-mediated supports, or adjustments to visual tools.
Thought: Guides future session planning and IEP updates.
Instructor Signature & Date: Verify completion and review key observations with multidisciplinary team.
Thought: Formalizes accountability and communication across educators.*
