ABSTRACT
Holding plans when time is short: Two-Time Everyone who lives in a busy home, or has worked in schools and other children’s settings, knows that every day is packed with activities. In schools, time is spent planning, reviewing and working directly with children; sorting out particular issues, some child-related, some related to the everyday frustrations of equipment failing; and developing whole-school events or keeping up to speed with government and school initiatives. The AFFECTS planning process calls for at least an hour, or maybe an hour and a half, so that parents and staff can work together, focusing, in detail, on the behaviour of the child with autism and how best to form a multi-element intervention plan.
