What communication scripts might you use to support practice of greetings and goodbyes? Are these complete scripts or just key words to support initiation?
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?
Below are samples of level 1 and 2 scripts that might be used to support practice and role-play opportunities:
What type of cues (icons, anime style characters, color-coding, highlighting) might you add to the visual script to promote attention and clarity for the student?
Should each “actor’s” lines be a different color on the script card? Should you highlight a particular student’s lines for him? Would a different picture cue be more appealing and appropriate for the student? Should you underline a key phrase?
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?
What video scenarios might you present to help students make accurate discriminations between appropriate and less appropriate responses?
Below are examples of video scenarios that you might present to assist the student in making accurate discriminations between appropriate versus less appropriate greetings. In many cases, it would be necessary for you to create your own scenarios (via video, or through live demonstrations) to meet the needs of your particular student.
This is the right way to respond to a greeting. Even though he is not having a good day, he still looks at his co-worker and responds to him in a polite way. Even when you are in a bad mood, it is important to be polite and professional at work!
This is the wrong way to greet a co –worker if they ask how you are doing. It is OK to let them know that you are not in a great mood. However, he makes some very negative comments. This might make his co-worker think that he is rude.

Are you arranging frequent practice opportunities with communication systems and visual scripts 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 in the View2do program?
