Based on the student’s needs and interests, and based on the targeted skill and related concepts, what type of social narrative should you develop – a situational story, coping comic, thought story, and/or coping card?
A situational story can be used to describe what might happen during the door-to-door search process, and emphasize some of the self-regulation skills (e.g., waiting) that may come into play during this process. In narratives that are fairly text-heavy, consider whether you should add visual clarity cues (e.g. images, bolding, highlighting) to support comprehension and to promote attention to key details:
Door-To-Door Searches - Social Narratives - Situational Story
Consider whether you might use a thought story to depict how the individual’s behavior is perceived when he requests the application using polite words and tone of voice, versus when he uses impolite words and tone. In this case, it will be important to read the narrative out loud as well, so the student can hear what a polite versus impolite tone of voice sounds like:
How can you visually or thematically incorporate the student’s interests and preferences into this social narrative to increase motivation and engagement?
Can you design the narrative so that it might not only be used in practice settings, but also reviewed independently by the student in generalized settings?
In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create a social narrative in the View2do program?
