1B) Use the bracelet as a count down. For example, I need you to do 3 jobs – 1 empty trash, 2 dust, 3 sweep. Use the bracelet as a reminder to the 3 jobs.
2A) Use the numbers to learn math: For example point to 4 and say, “4 plus”, next point to 6 and say “6 =?” The student will respond with the answer. In this example you could point and say, “Yes, the answer is 10.”
2B) Use the bracelet to do touch math.

How to use the words: I need help.®:
1. When a person looks distressed the staff member can say, “Look at your/my bracelet.” This prompts the person to look at the bracelet and then ask for help.
2. Non-verbal people can point to their own bracelet; this will cue the staff member that help is needed.
3. Point to the words on the bracelet and slowly say, “I need”. This cues the person to specifically say what they need.
