During WABA (Weekend ABA) Sessions We Will:

• Meet with peers in a small group setting, no more than four (4) clients
• Re-learn how to work with others in a structured setting, get ready with those back to school skills
• Learn important social skills pertinent to physical distancing (e.g. personal space, requesting access)
• Reconnect with with friends
• Build new friendships with peers in your group

Changes That Clients Will Experience at ACES to Prepare Them for the Return to School Include:

• Staggering the beginning and end of the day
• Create work spaces at least six (6) feet apart
• Teach and model creating space and avoiding unnecessary touching
• Promote and demonstrate regular hand washing (at least 20 seconds), positive hygiene behaviors and monitor their uptake
• Encourage clients to ask questions and express their feelings with ACES staff and their parents (remember that your child may have different reactions to stress; be patient and understanding)
• Emphasize that children can do a lot to keep themselves and others safe
• Introduce the concept of social distancing (standing further away from friends, avoiding large crowds, not touching people if you don’t need to, etc.)
• Focus on good health behaviors, such as covering coughs and sneezes with the elbow and washing hands
• Help children understand the basic concepts of disease prevention and control
• Use exercises that demonstrate how germs can spread
• Have clients identify high risk behaviors and suggest modifying behaviors
  • For example, a child comes to school with a cold. They sneezes and covers it with his hand. They high fives with a friend. They wipes his hands after with a handkerchief then goes to class. What did the child do that was risky? What should they have done instead?
