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 to address this topic– a situational story, coping comic, thought story, and/or coping card?
A situational story is a great way to 1) define what downtime is 2) explain why it is necessary to behave appropriately during downtime, and 3) teach what are acceptable versus unacceptable activities to engage in during downtime.
Here is an example of a situational story for a high-functioning student:
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?
Here is a situational story to address downtime issues in the classroom setting, but with added visual clarity cues. Notice the bolding, color, and bullet points.
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?
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?
