What visual instructions or reminder cues should be accessible to support performance of this self-regulation skill? Where should these be placed?
The student’s calm-down routine, thermometer, or coping strategy card should be available to the student however and wherever he can access them the easiest. This could be a small card in his wallet, a card on the inside cover of his binder or on his clipboard, or attached to his work space.
Sometimes a simple reminder statement could be placed on the student’s desk or work area:
Some students may be motivated with a picture of a favorite cartoon hero (or whoever is motivating and interesting to that particular student) to help them remember the steps in handling mistakes:
Some students can handle a more detailed reminder card that covers more of the abstract components of this skill.
Use your knowledge of the student to simplify this sequence if it is too complex. The goal is a sequence that the student can use!
In my design of each visual support, have I considered whether the student may need visual clarity cues (added to the environmental design, communication script or scenario, schedule, graphic organizer, social narrative, and / or video model) to highlight (label) or emphasize key features or concepts?
In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create visual instructions and reminder cues in the View2do program?
