What visual instructions or reminder cues should be accessible to support appropriate responses to questions and interruptions? Where should these be placed?
Visual reminder cards can be adapted from concepts and strategies that are depicted in the graphic organizers or social narratives. They also can be adapted from the script cards and placed in a wallet or mobile device, file box, notebook, hung on a bulletin board or placed on the counter or desk. Here are a variety of examples of visual reminder cards you might consider:
High interest themes might be lifted from a coping card to serve as a visual reminder to emphasize the importance of the skill:
In my design of each visual support, have I considered whether the student may need visual clarity cues (added to the environmental design, communication script or scenario, graphic organizer, social narrative, and / or video model) to highlight (label) or emphasize key features or concepts?
A visual support that may help a student who has trouble stopping their current task when interrupted could be a “work bookmark.” This could be a paint stirring stick labeled “work bookmark” and the reminder to put in where the student stopped working. In a job stocking merchandise, the student could place it by the cans or boxes where he stopped; in a library position, he could place it in the book shelf where he stopped stocking books, etc. The student might use a paper or cardboard version to mark his place in a textbook or notebook, when collating materials, etc.
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?
