Learner choices

Target/codes: choose H–R–H or H–L–H and say/show which paper picture might get attention; AC9ADAFD01, AC9ADAFC01. Prepare: A place mat, large H/L/R labels, A.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Introduce the invented Paper Room. H is a home mark on a table, not a spot to walk to. Ask the child to choose a marker, drawing or locally approved small gesture.
  2. Model · 4 min. Slide a marker H–R–H on three numbered cards. Say “count 2 points right”; a paper visitor might look at the right picture. Keep the viewer's reaction unknown.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Put H–L–H beside A. Ask which middle card changed and allow point, speech/AAC or an adult-directed move.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child chooses right or left for a fictional sign and shows a three-count idea by one route. Adult records the child's own purpose and changed/held card, not a movement-quality rating.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Ask “Which count tells us where?” Check that 1 and 3 return H; accept a child-created other direction if they can name it.
  6. Close · 2 min. Keep one score and child reason; tomorrow a place can stay instead of returning.
