Visual Cues:

What visual instructions or reminder cues should be present to support accurate responding and organized performance?

Below is just one example of a visual reminder cue you might consider presenting to the student as he gathers and records information about his work history in preparation for the application process.  The purpose of this cue is to help the student evaluate his own responses – are they specific and concise, or are they too vague?

Visual Cue - Job Descriptions

How do I use visual clarity cues to highlight or emphasize key elements of tasks, materials and instructions?

Based on the broad array of information being requested, breaking down everything in an organized method may help reduce anxiety in the student.  For some students, it may help to divide the task by placing a worksheet for each type of information in a colored folder or on colored paper (e.g. “Personal Information” on blue paper, “Availability” on green paper).  Once the student completes each separate form (which may not occur in a single-sitting!), a follow-up activity may link the completed colored pages to color-matching sections on a single form. 

In this example, the process is as follows:

  1.  Student completes a separate form for each type of information.  Each form is on a unique colored paper.
  2. As follow-up activity, the student matches each of the completed colored forms to the matching colored sections of a new form, which compiles all of the information together.

In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create visual instructions and reminder cues in the View2do program?
