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 – a situational story, coping comic, thought story, and / or coping card?
A situational story could be an effective tool to clarify what compliments are, the purpose they serve, and the appropriate response to such compliments:
"Responding To Comments And Compliments - Social Narrative - Situational Story"
Some students might need a thought story to visually clarify the underlying intentions of others, and to support the rationale behind appropriate responses to compliments or comments:
How can you visually or thematically incorporate the student’s interests and preferences into this social narrative to increase motivation and engagement?
For example, you might devise a coping card that depicts how a favorite sports star or admired person responds to compliments:
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?
Consider whether the student would benefit from highlighted steps in a strategy to clarify concepts.
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?
Some students will require that these strategies be reviewed on a daily basis before the student transitions to the job site or community situation. Could this be part of his daily routine?
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?
