In Project TEAM, we call <strong>parts of the environment that make it hard<\/strong> to do activities <a title=\"Define &quot;Barrier&quot;\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/projectteam\/teens-young-adults\/glossary\/#definebarrier\"><strong>barriers<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A\u00a0<strong><a title=\"Define &quot;Strategy&quot;\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/projectteam\/teens-young-adults\/glossary\/#definestrategy\">strategy<\/a> <\/strong>is an idea that we can use to change the\u00a0environment to make it easier to do the activities we want to do.\u00a0<strong>Strategies <\/strong>are ways to change the part of the environment that is making it hard.\u00a0<strong>Strategies <\/strong> can help us remove\u00a0barriers or help us to work around barriers. In Project TEAM, we learn six strategies. The\u00a0strategies are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Plan ahead:\u00a0<\/strong>Before you start an activity, think about how you will do the activity. Get the things you need before you start an activity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use technology or things:<\/strong>\u00a0Use technology or things in different ways to do an activity. Use new technology or things to do an activity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change spaces:\u00a0<\/strong>Change the size, shape, and arrangement of indoor spaces, outdoor spaces, entrances and exits, or ground. Change the amount or type of light, sound, or smell in the space. Do the activity in a different place.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change the rules:<\/strong>\u00a0Change the way you do an activity by changing the rules, amount of time, or order of steps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ask someone for help:<\/strong>\u00a0Find people who can give you information or help you solve a problem. Change the type or amount of help you get from other people during an activity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teach others about abilities and needs:\u00a0<\/strong>Tell other people what you can do. Tell other people about the type and amount of help you need to do an activity. Teach other people about your disability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn more about the six strategies, download and look over the <a title=\"Strategies Slideshow\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/projectteam\/files\/2014\/06\/Strategies_Slideshow.pdf\">Strategies Slideshow<\/a>.

In the column on the left, you can write the names of the parts of the\u00a0environment that are\u00a0barriers in your activity goal. You can write up to three\u00a0barriers on this worksheet; if you have four or more barriers, you will need to pick the three parts of the\u00a0environment that you think make it the hardest to do the activity.<ins cite=\"mailto:Jessica\" datetime=\"2013-12-27T21:59\"> <\/ins><\/p>\n<p>After you write the barriers, go to the next column where it says, \u201cWhat\u00a0strategy can I use?\u201d Think of a\u00a0strategy you can use to change each part of the environment. Check off the\u00a0strategy you could use. Then, in the next column where it says, \u201cExplain your strategy,\u201d write down exactly what you would do.<\/p>\n<p>For example, an activity goal might be to go to a movie with a friend. A\u00a0barrier in the\u00a0environment that makes it hard for some people can be\u00a0loud noises in the theater, which is an example of the part of the environment: lights, sounds, and smells. One\u00a0strategy to work around this\u00a0barrier can be \u201cUse technology or things.\u201d One way you can use technology or things to remove the\u00a0barrier of loud noises in the theater is by wearing a pair of headphones to the movie. If you wear them on your ears with no music, the noises won\u2019t be so loud, and you can still hear what the actors are saying.<\/p>\n<p>On the Second Base: Plan Step 2 page of the Game Plan Worksheet, you would write, &#8220;Lights, sounds, and smells: loud noises in the theater,&#8221; in the first column. Then you would check off, \u201cUse technology or things,\u201d because headphones are a type of technology, then in the third column, you would write down, \u201cWear headphones.\u201d Try to fill out Second Base: Plan Step 2 page of the Game Plan Worksheet for your own activity goal!<\/p>\n<h3>Ready to learn more?<\/h3>\n<p>Go on to the next part of the Game Plan:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/projectteam\/teens-young-adults\/the-game-plan\/second-base-plan-step-3\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/projectteam\/files\/2014\/02\/Plan_31.png\" alt=\"Second Base: Plan Step 3 Symbol\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-138\" height=\"52\" width=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/projectteam\/files\/2014\/02\/Plan_31.png 182w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/projectteam\/files\/2014\/02\/Plan_31-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 52px) 100vw, 52px\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Second Base: Plan Step 3\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/projectteam\/teens-young-adults\/the-game-plan\/second-base-plan-step-3\/\">Second Base: Plan Step 3<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contents Second Base: Plan Step 2 Introduction What is a Barrier?
