Choosing support so everyone can take part: school support plan
Support focus
Choose a change that makes a task easier to join.
Example situation
A pretend team must read instructions and build a paper model. One student needs the print enlarged, another wants the instructions read aloud, and another works best after seeing the first fold. The goal is the same model.
Student words or action
Offer larger directions, a read-aloud, or a demonstration of the same paper task.
Adult response
“Which role or way of joining would work for you?”
A supported practice
A student can make a paper model but cannot read the tiny steps on the sheet.
What support would make this task usable?
An example response: Provide larger-print steps or read the same steps aloud.
A second practice
A student hears the directions but needs to see the first fold.
What support would make this task usable?
An example response: Show the first fold. The goal stays the same even when the support differs.
