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 greetings and goodbyes?
For example, perhaps it is appropriate to develop a T chart graphic organizer where you brainstorm with the student appropriate versus less appropriate verbal responses to greetings.
A second T-chart could be devised to identify many of the appropriate versus less appropriate non-verbal behaviors that accompany greetings.
You might also consider devising a T-chart or card-matching activity that helps the student identify what types of greetings are appropriate for different people (authority figures, strangers, peers, close friends and family, etc.). For example, “what’s up?” is not an appropriate greeting when speaking to teachers, supervisors, and other authority figures. The student might need practice making these types of discriminations.
You might need to devise a sorting or matching activity where the student can match the appropriate greeting to the person.
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 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?
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?
