| 1. Adjust the Job Placement
• Modify role responsibilities to include more social tasks, such as:
• Helping customers find items.
• Assisting with bagging groceries at checkout (more social engagement).
• Restocking in front areas of the store where light customer interaction occurs.
• Short-term rotation: Combine stocking tasks with occasional time shadowing at checkout to build toward his preferred role.
|
| Social skills training: when and when not to engage with customers.
Flexibility: being able to work a position that does not directly communicate with customers.
|
| The environment may need to be changed or adapted to allow for social interaction while completing a task.
|
| Different job that has opportunity to access peers or community

| Potential solutions include creating a structured routine where John can complete stocking tasks in shorter, manageable segments with scheduled breaks to interact with customers. The behavior analyst or placement coach can provide real-time prompts and reinforcement to help him maintain focus. Gradually, tasks can be adjusted to include more customer-facing responsibilities as he demonstrates consistent attention and task completion.
|
| Create a task list to help him with his tasks
|
| Another placement can be discussed to determine if it is possible. If it isn't, a plan of when it is or isn't appropriate for John to engage in conversations with people. A point to discuss is whether it is possible to incorporate an opportunity at the end of his shift or after he has completed his task of stocking shelves.

| the client would benefit from social skills training to discriminate times that are appropriate vs. inappropriate for having conversations; it may be more socially valid to explore an alternative program for the client that allows for more social interaction throughout the activity
|
| ask for the position to be changed, maybe a greeter, teach when it is in appropriate to socialize, set goals of work compltion to be reinforced by social interaction
|
| The analyst should try to find a position that suits John's desire to interact, while he is completing a task. If he is not motivated by the tasks, it is likely going to be unsuccessful without supports.
