Visual Activity Checklist

This post describes the importance of using a visual activity checklist that will assist students who need help with organization.

Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Johnny uses his right hand to write and to physically position his left arm and hand. He has difficulty managing papers as he writes. He collects and utilizes a lap tray, incline board, non-slip mat and modified clipboard but often waits for staff to set up modifications.

Annual Goal: Johnny will initiate the set-up of his writing station 80% of the time given a chart of needed materials for each task.

With the use of a visual activity checklis,t Johnny will be able to use a whiteboard with his assignment and materials needed to complete a task.  An adult will have to set up the board for each activity, but this will help him meet his annual goal of initiating the set-up of his writing station 80% of the time.  The checklist describes the assignment requirements, as well as, the materials and procedures to complete the task.  This is a great assistive technology tool for students who need assistance with being organized.
