In this experience story, a young girl and her teacher, Amy Parker, write about butting heads.
Background:
In this video, Karsen was six years old and had recently been diagnosed with autism. She also has bilateral sclerocornea and glaucoma present from birth.
Goals:
- To build joint attention in a story-game using a highly preferred action
- To help her associate her words with written words
- To see what she can do to discriminate basic whole words in a repeated story
- To share in an experience together around writing
- For her to have fun, to be silly, and to develop trust
- To share this experience with her mom so that ideas transfer to home and to being playful around reading and writing
