Starting an Activity
When the participant has chosen an activity, the Coordinator selects a volunteer from those available whose age, gender and interests will make a good match with the participant and calls to propose the activity. The Coordinator also communicates with the Activity Leader to introduce the TIES program and assess what additional accommodations may be needed.
Once the arrangements are made, the Coordinator develops an individual support plan for each participant, which contains the essential information about the activity and serves as a guide for the volunteer’s efforts. Finally, the Coordinator monitors and evaluates the ongoing activity through communication with all parties.
“One aspect that deserves celebration is that TIES is for all students; it is an effort to unite children with peers so they can learn with and from each other. Their learning is enhanced by their diversity.” Margo VanHaneghan, Director of Special Education, Brighton Central School District, 1998
