How can the schedule help the student orchestrate and remember social plans?
One calendar for all activities is probably in the student’s best interest. Be sure the student has a system for remembering to add special events to the calendar if he does not have immediate access to it. The student will need to add details about the event: who is going, what time, and the address.
How will the student interact with his schedule to ensure that he is consistently using and referencing it? Will he check items off, delete items, etc.?
Is the schedule available to the student at all times? If not, what adjustments should you make to ensure its accessibility?
If the student is able and interested in using digital schedules, programs like Google Calendar, Apple iCal, and Microsoft Exchange offer great options. These provide easy access from internet-connected computers as well as mobile devices, potentially easing the student’s ability to update his schedule with a new event on-the-go.
What additional cues (e.g. time durations, highlighting, reminders) might you add to the schedule to clarify expectations and activities?
In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create a schedule in the View2do program?
