Older Children
Older children might benefit from doing this work in
a group, where a facilitator asks for ideas from the
group and records them on easel pad paper for
easy reference.
WRAP
This is the child's personal plan.
They decide what is included and what is not included.
WRAP
Work on it in a place that is comfortable.
Make sure the child is not tired, hungry, or upset.
Keep sessions brief.
