What communication scripts might you use to support practice of this skill? Are these complete scripts or just key words to support initiation?
Scripts might be used to support the student in rehearsing particular responses. For example, the individual might need to practice sharing certain information with a supervisor or a Human Resources department staff member. Or, the student might need to practice responding to questions that a co-worker might ask which would require the student to refrain from divulging too much.
On the script card, does the student need additional picture or word cues to define his body position, facial expression, gestures, etc. during the use of the script?
What additional visual clarity cues (e.g. color-coding, highlighting) might you add to the visual script to promote attention and comprehension for the student?
What scenarios might you present (using scenario Act it Out cards) to help students produce their own dialogue and interactions to practice or role-play in a scene?
The scenario cards below might be used to support discussion and role-play, as well as discriminations between appropriate versus less appropriate responses. These example scenarios are not appropriate for all students, as they involve applying the “rules” under challenging and ambiguous circumstances.
What video scenarios might you present to help students make accurate discriminations between appropriate and less appropriate responses?
Here is one example of a video scenario set: The first video depicts an interaction where the individual does not break the “rules” regarding asking personal information; the second video depicts the same interaction, except the individual does break the “rules” this time. What types of scenarios would benefit the particular student you are instructing?
This is an appropriate topic of conversation. These co–workers are talking about how they plan to spend some of their paychecks, without getting too personal. |
This is an inappropriate question to ask. It is not okay to ask your co–worker how much money they make, and it is not okay to talk about how much money you make. |
Are you arranging frequent practice opportunities with visual scripts and scenarios to build independence and fluency through repetition?
In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create scripts or scenarios in the View2do program?
