system refers to the physical structure of a student\u2019s work\u00a0area as well as the physical structure of the activity itself. \u00a0Both a structured work environment and a structured\u00a0work task tell the student what is expected of him\/her during an activity, how much is supposed to be\u00a0accomplished, and what happens after the activity is completed. \u00a0The work system is also organized in such a\u00a0way that the person has little or no difficulty figuring out what to do. \u00a0The goal is to teach the person to work\u00a0independently.<\/p><h3>Materials:<\/h3><p

following student questions need to be answered:<ul><li class=\"p1\">What am I expected to do?<\/li><li class=\"p1\">How much am I expected to do?<\/li><li class=\"p1\">How will I know when I am finished?<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Where do I put my finished work?<\/li><li class=\"p1\">What will I get when I&#8217;m done or what do I do next?<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"p1\">Within a structured work systems, a student has identified independent work times and teacher\u00a0work times. \u00a0After a teacher has introduced a new task during teacher work times and the\u00a0student demonstrates mastery, that task can be moved to the independent work time.<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Initially, a student may need guidance and teaching to navigate their structured work system,\u00a0but ultimately the goal is for the student to use the system independently.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Things to Consider\/Problem Solving:<\/h3><ul><li class=\"p1\">It is imperative to keep work spaces and reward\/play spaces separate. \u00a0This will help a student identify\u00a0when and where work happens and when and where breaks, rewards and free time happen.<\/li><li class=\"p1\">A student may need to build up his\/her stamina for completing multiple jobs.<\/li><li class=\"p1\">The team needs to carefully consider how and when tasks are taken apart. \u00a0Do not have the student\u00a0take the task apart after he\/she completes the task the\u00a0teacher needs to evaluate the accuracy. \u00a0Staff\u00a0should not take the task apart in front of the student.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Useful Resources to Learn
