What type of graphic organizer(s) might the student require in order to visually represent and organize the concepts, feelings, or behaviors that relate to this particular topic?
A simple organizer may be used to introduce the topic by showing the steps discussed in the task analysis section: process what is said, ID the topic, generate a comment or question. This can be presented as a cycle to help the student recognize the order of the steps for going with the flow:
"Going With The Flow In Conversations - Graphic Organizers - Steps"
Another organizer may show stock comments used in certain conversations. Often when engaged in a discussion, the transition between topics involves a brief statement or question either elaborating on what was just said or seeking more information. To help the student grasp an otherwise overwhelming concept of developing unique phrases all the time, this organizer can serve as an introduction to some go-to generic comments. Add phrases to the left and have the student write-in possible responses in the right column. If necessary, include a list of comments for the student to reference for options. A final and important step would be to act out each of the brief responses using body language, facial expressions, and appropriate tone of voice:
Is there a way to visually or thematically incorporate the student’s interests into this graphic organizer to increase motivation and engagement?
What additional visual clarity cues (e.g. icons, bolding, highlighting, color-coding) might you add to the graphic organizer to clarify concepts and to direct attention to key details?
Simple edits to the template of the above T-chart can help add clarity. For example, if a student has difficulty tracking which phrase matches which comment, add lines to create distinguished rows (e.g. phrase 1 and comment 1 are in the same row and separated from phrase 2 and comment 2 by a bold horizontal line).
In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create a graphic organizer in the View2do program?
