Implementing 'The Incredible 5-Point Scale:

In Focus Family Workshop

In consultation with the authors, Autism SA has developed a workshop based on Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Curtis’ program ‘The Incredible 5-Point Scale’. The program, which is being effectively used across South Australian schools, talks in ‘numbers’ rather than using “socially and emotionally laden words”. The program can be implemented in a variety of settings and utilises visual scales to break down abstract social and emotional concepts including self-regulation. This workshop will guide participants through how they can implement the program in the home setting and will cover:

The philosophy behind the program;
Looking at the resources;
Overview of the program, including hands-on activities;
How to implement the program in the home and community setting; and
How to monitor, tweak and review to suit individual and family needs.

Throughout the workshop the presenter will use discussion, activities and videos to deliver information on the ‘Incredible 5 point scale’, that will enhance the attendees’ knowledge and enable them to use this effective strategy successfully in the home.

Workshop Definitions:

General Workshops are designed to give participants a better understanding of autism. They present a broad range of effective strategies that participants can use to improve their practice when working with individuals on the spectrum. These workshops are suited to participants who have not attended previous Autism SA workshops.

In Focus Workshops are designed for participants who have a good general knowledge and understanding of autism. These sessions are for those wanting to enhance their professional practice by developing skills to support individuals in specific areas relating to autism. It is recommended that participants first attend a General Workshop prior to attending an In Focus Workshop.

Autism SA has a highly experienced and diverse training team which includes consultants, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and facilitators who have extensive experience in working with individuals on the autism spectrum in a range of settings.
