While waiting sing a song, play a clapping game. Play- I spy-letters, etc. Note this moment to an adult goes by quickly, yet for a child can appear like a long period of time. For a child that has been noted to become easily distracted. Ask a support system to bring a “busy backpack” to help keep the student occupied.
Step 5&6- Breakfast at McDonalds w/ LPD o It would be in the best interest if students we paired with officers based on personalities. However such options are not always available. Therefore attempt to give as much information as possible to the officer that will be important for them to note as although these are law enforcement. To a child they may be viewed as stranger. o Also attempt to have the child order chosen at time of arrival. o It may be in the best interest to have the student sit with and food brought to them as the volume of stimulation can be overwhelming for some. A student may need to take a breather if at all possible prior to next transition i.e. leaving. Which will be discussed in the next section
