I supported several clients with special needs during my time with Behavior Intervention Services, My most memorable client was a young boy who required assistance in communication. He could not communicate verbally, so the team found alternative methods to teach him functional communication. I assisted in teaching him sign language and how to use assistive communication applications on his iPad . I taught him these methods by using high fives as a reinforcer. For instance, when he appropriately asked for a glass of milk on his iPad, I would give him the glass of milk and a hive five. I also did the same if he appropriately signed the word for milk. In the beginning, it was difficult because he did not understand the purpose of sign language
