What type of graphic organizer(s) might the student require in order to visually represent and organize the concepts, feelings, or behaviors that relate to this particular topic?
Graphic organizers can be used to clarify the breakdown of the steps involved when deciphering interest, even providing detailed illustrations to focus on advanced topics such as subtle facial expressions. *Use them in conjunction with actual practice. These tools might be used to introduce and to review concepts, but will not teach performance of the skills!
Below is one chart that breaks down the purpose of each sub-skill within the larger skill of showing interest:
"Deciphering Interest - Graphic Organizer - From Interested to Bored"
Below is a full set of facial expression cards that might be used in a variety of ways. For example, the student might sort or label cards into different categories (interested versus bored; frustrated versus relaxed, etc.), or break down parts of the face to examine the more subtle features that comprise a particular expression, or he might use these cards
as visual cues to support imitation and mirroring exercises:

Is there a way to visually or thematically incorporate the student’s interests into this graphic organizer to increase motivation and engagement?
What additional visual clarity cues (e.g. icons, bolding, highlighting, color-coding) might you add to the graphic organizer to clarify concepts and to direct attention to key details?
In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create a graphic organizer in the View2do program?
