What communication scripts might you use to support practice of this skill? Are these complete scripts or just key words to support initiation?
Below is a set of level 1 and 2 script cards that might support the student in initiating communication with the person who is most likely to help them. These scripts might be used in role-play contexts, and in some cases, may also be carried with the student to serve as visual reminders of what to say when the need for help arises under real conditions.
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?
Below is a set of scenario cards that may support practice and discussion. Consider how the variety across these scenarios (and ones you develop) can promote the student’s generalized concept of “help” and his application of the 3-step model to a wide range of situations.
What video scenarios might you present to help students make accurate discriminations between appropriate and less appropriate responses?
Here are two examples of video scenarios that illustrate what happens when the employee asks for the help that he needs, versus when he does not ask for the help that he needs:
This is the right way to ask for help. The employee calmly says, "Excuse me" and he politely lets his supervisor know that he needs help. |
This video shows what happens when an employee does not ask for help. He should have asked for help. Now, he has to do the task all over again! |
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 your student, do you need to create scripts or scenarios in the View2do program?
