Teach students how to appropriately ask for help instead of engaging in disruptive behavior with this structured ABA-based Functional Communication Training (FCT) program. Designed for middle and upper elementary students, this resource provides everything you need to set up role-play practice using contrived scenarios that safely mimic real classroom challenges.

This resource includes:

• A clearly defined target skill for help-seeking
  
• Step-by-step teaching procedures (Instruction, Modeling, Rehearsal, Feedback)
  
• A set of contrived scenarios to practice in low-stress, safe situations
  
• A prompting and fading plan for building independence
  
• A reinforcement system to encourage appropriate communication
  
• A data collection sheet for progress monitoring
  
• A generalization plan to ensure skills transfer to natural classroom settings
