  • Is the student able to remember and follow multi-step directions?


Environment:

  • Are there universal supports available in the environment (program, classroom, building, district) that can first be trialed with the student to support organization and independence?

  • Is there time to teach organizational skills within the curriculum or build in more structure?

  • What tools and supports are available in the home environment?


Task:

For example arriving ready for learning with materials needed, organizing papers and materials, initiating assignments, completing work, generating a multi-step plan, utilizing an organizational system, etc.


Tool:
