Abstract

Since the reopening of schools after COVID-19, students and staff have been required to wear face masks. Some students, including those with extensive support needs (ESN), may have difficulty in wearing these novel protective garments. Fortunately, researchers have demonstrated the effectiveness of several procedures for supporting the wearing of similar equipment (e.g., glasses, hearing aids). In this paper, we draw upon the available research to propose a protocol for teaching students with ESN to put on and maintain the use of face masks.
