Below is a general skill sequence for helping learners NAME SKILL AREA.

The second tier of our matching program, "Matches Common Items in 2D Array 2.0", is grounded in the students' pre-existing understanding derived from matching common items in the first set. This essential stage of learning advances the skillset necessary for matching multiple items concurrently, thereby preventing rote memorization. In the long run, mastering this skill set opens avenues for students to match more items, to receptively identify the targeted items in this skill area, and to possibly tact the items as well.

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 match identical pictures of five common items when presented in an array of 15.
Learner will match identical pictures of ten common items when presented in an array of 15.
Learner will match identical pictures of 15 common items when presented in an array of 15.

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)

Skill Possibilities

Below is a possible skill sequence for working on increasing your learner’s ability to follow instructions and match common items in a 2D array. 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.

Receptively IDs Common Items in 2D Array

Matches Common Items in 2D Array 1.0 (Non-identical)

Matches Busy & Safe Streets in 2D Array (Identical)

Matches Familiar Locations in 2D Array (Identical)

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.
