What type of graphic organizers might the student require in order to visually represent and organize the concepts, behaviors, and rules that relate to this particular topic?
Where scripts can be useful when role-playing, it is sometimes useful to also use graphic organizers to break down the sections of a conversation or to clarify topics to discuss. For example, an email template can guide the student in drafting an appropriate email (i.e. appropriate in format, length, and content):
Is there a way to visually or thematically incorporate the student’s interests into these graphic organizers 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?
The above example offers clear spaces for the student to fill-in-the-blanks. Some students may also find word banks useful. To add word banks to a template such as the example, replace the text from the blanks with numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.). Then, link each number to a word bank, perhaps housed on the same sheet of paper. So, instead of “1-5 words identifying the job,” the second blank would simply say “1”; a word bank below the template with the header “1” may include words such as: designing, drawing, waiting tables, doing lawn maintenance, delivering packages, in retail, etc. Optionally, the blanks and word banks may be color-coded to provide further clarity.
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?
