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 explain the importance of following instructions and the specifics of following instructions for a particular job.
How can you visually or thematically incorporate the student’s interests and preferences into this social narrative to increase motivation and engagement?
What additional visual clarity cues (e.g. images, bolding, highlighting) might you add to the social narrative to support comprehension and to promote attention to key details?
Using the example above, here are additional visual clarity cues to emphasize the importance of asking for help when needed:
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?
Take a paraphrased sentence from the story, such as “If you have questions, ask Bob or Stanley for help” and post it in the student’s work area.
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?
