A different position, no result yet
An ordinary teaching idea. The example below is made up; your own work can stay private.
Have a go
- Save the first position on paper or in words.
- Show an intended new position and say what you hope it could help.
- Keep actual use separate; an untried change has no known improved result.
Example and reasoning
A fictional maker draws a new cue location hoping it will be easier to find. They have not assembled or used the new arrangement. Ask what changed and what remains unknown. The revision is actual drawing; improved use is a prediction. Next help: distinguish a changed idea from a recheck result using an unrelated dot cue.
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.
