Below is a general skill sequence for helping learners label common items.

This skill area zeros in on labeling a fourth batch of common items. It's key to ensure that the learner is smooth in basic scanning, basic matching, and catching on to basic gestures. Plus, they should be handy at both matching and receptively identifying items from this set. Nailing this skill area creates a base for labeling these items across several examples and sets the stage for bringing in a new batch of common items to label.

Treatment Plan Goal Ideas

This is a list of treatment plan goals. These are different from the goals you will find in the skill sequence below. Your treatment plan goals encompass any number of goals from the skill sequence. Sometime they will include multiple goals from the sequence (”Learner will label 5 toys”) and sometimes the treatment plan goal will be simply consist of a really important goal from the skill sequence (”Will label caregiver”). An analogy I like to use goes as follows: Each skill sequence goal (commonly known as a “target”) represent each stair in a flight of stairs. The treatment plan goal is the flight itself.

Treatment plan goal ideas for this particular skill area are as follows:

Learner will correctly label 50 different common items when presented to them in 2D or 3D.
Learner will correctly label 55 different common items when presented to them in 2D or 3D.
Learner will correctly label 60 different common items when presented to them in 2D or 3D.

Component Skills

Your learner may need to be fluent in these component skills first before introducing this goal/skill area. Component skills for this skill sequence may include skill areas that are fundamental to other areas. Fluency in the skill areas listed below may increase the likelihood that your learner will succeed in this skill sequence and those afterward.

Intro to Scanning

Intro to Matching (Visual Perception)

Following Gestures

Matches Common Items in 2D Array 1.0 (Identical)

Receptively IDs Common Items in 2D Array

Labels Common Items 1.0

Skill Possibilities

Below is a possible skill sequence for working on increasing your learner’s ability to label common items. Note that every learner is different and that you likely will need to tweak and vary some programming to their needs.

Concurrent Skills

Working on these skills at the same time could help with goal mastery. Maybe your learner has mastered these skills already. Perhaps they are already listed as component skills above. That’s okay! Targeting other learning channels might help your learner.

Labels Common Items 3.0

Receptively IDs Common Items in 2D Array 4.0

Composite Skills

These are the possible next steps for learners who have mastered, or are mastering, the skills listed above. Note that new skill areas may require fluency in other component skills not listed above. Also, you can introduce composite skill sequences prematurely to keep your learner progressing, as generativity may occur earlier than expected.
