The above model is a strategy derived from the TEACCH (www.teacch.com) method where structured teaching is provided for each individual student. This can be for independent work at the student’s desk or when student needs to do a chore. Diagram allows student to know what to do, purpose of the activity/chore, for how long they will do it for, what will happen next once they have finished the activity/chore and of course how to do the activity. This is discussed for each lesson that the student struggles to work independently for long periods of time.
I learned this model through a seminar given by Ms. Catherine Faherty and I found it to be very helpful and meaningful for not only the student with a learning difficulty but for many other students. It gives the students focus and purpose and alleviates the anxiety of the unknown. Angelik
