Source review complete · local suitability still needs review.

An ordinary teaching idea. The example below is made up; your own work can stay private.

Have a go

  1. Read the explicitly untried check plan.
  2. Name what a checker would do and look for.
  3. Keep the after result open until an actual event gives it.

Example and reasoning

A fictional maker intends to see whether their START cue helps a chooser find where to begin. They explicitly have not asked anyone or tried it. Ask what they could look for. A proposal is useful, but no event/result exists. Next help: put proposed action and actual result in separate places. A willing actual trial later is optional.

Grown-up help

Offer speech, sign, AAC, pointing, drawing, faithful dictation, usual home-language support when competent, private work, pause, rest or finish. Ask one part at a time and keep its meaning. No partner, winner, score, time limit or fixed response length is required. Use only locally suitable broad whole paper/card, a checked marking tool and a stable comfortable table. A helper may act exactly as directed; keep the child's idea and the actual operator's action separate. Record an actual event only when it happened. A missing record can mean unknown; it does not establish that no action happened. A supplied story remains fiction.

Show the worked reasoning after an offered own idea where useful. This context is not a held first/later source.
