Brake Shop Strategies

Documents

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These CPRI Brake Shop strategy documents are organized by symptom/difficulty; each document begins with a brief, simple explanation of the problem and then offers many suggestions for “brake adjustments’ (treatment), ‘detours’ (accommodations), and ‘external brakes’ (strategies for keeping the individual on-track despite the skill deficit).

Click below to find help for ‘Behaviour’, Impulsivity, Inattention, Obsessions and Compulsions, Organizational Difficulties, Rage, Sensory Defensiveness, Sleep Difficulties, Tics, and Writing Difficulties.  A more generic strategy handout for individuals with ‘leaky brakes’ (“Bill of Rights”), as well as ideas for accommodations to be provided in a ‘leaky brake’ Individualized Education Plan (“School/Classroom Approaches”) are also available.

You can download any of the following Strategy Documents (they are in PDF format and can be opened with Acrobat Reader).
