# Learner cards · choose a way in, switch at any time You can draw, tell, point, sign, use AAC, dictate to a scribe or direct an adult. A/B/C are **not fixed learning styles**; each route reaches the same Design goal. A paper drawing shows an idea, not a material result. If a school-approved action does not happen, say **NOT TRIED**. A child-directed adult action is recorded as adult handling. No one has to touch, hear, make a sound or handle a vessel. Use the [full linear and tactile descriptions](print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md) without printing. ## Day 71 · A cue for a person **Shared target:** Name a designed feature, user and purpose for an optional gentle cue. - **A · Draw:** Add a broad cue place to the [material candidates](print/material-candidates.pdf); show where the user would find it. - **B · Tell/AAC:** Finish “A person could design ___ so a willing partner can ___.” Include a no-sound option. - **C · Direct:** Ask an adult to point to two large possible cue places; direct which could help the pretend user and why. **Home:** Tell a pretend toy how you would show “your turn” without needing to tap, buy or build anything. ## Day 72 · Ask about materials **Shared target:** Compare two possible broad materials by the user's need and what is still unknown. - **A · Draw:** Mark one question beside BROAD CARD and another beside CLEAN SOFT CLOTH on the [candidate page](print/material-candidates.pdf). - **B · Tell/AAC:** Name one possible reason to consider each material, then one question a real user or adult would answer. - **C · Inspect/direct:** If approved, look at or direct an adult to describe clean full-size candidates; say what came from inspection and what remains a guess. **Home:** Ask a puppet, “Would you like a visible cue, a gentle sound or no sound?” No real listener response is required. ## Day 73 · Two pad plans **Shared target:** Give two distinct pad ideas and choose one for a stated user. - **A · Draw:** Use [design record](print/design-record.pdf) for two materials, shapes or cue locations; circle a provisional choice. - **B · Tell/AAC:** Describe two ideas in your own words; an adult writes them exactly and asks which serves the user. - **C · Direct:** Direct an adult to trace two different broad pad boundaries in the air or on a large blank page; name the helpful feature. **Home:** Tell a toy two possible cue-pad ideas. A drawing or talk is enough. ## Day 74 · Plan a comfortable try **Shared target:** Order safe actions, identify a physical handler and name a stop signal. - **A · Draw:** Number the [four safe steps](print/safe-pad-steps.pdf); mark when to stop. - **B · Tell/AAC:** Say the order, who would touch or tap if approved, and what you would ask a willing listener. - **C · Direct:** Direct an adult to read steps in your order; choose a silent plan if sound or touch is not comfortable. **Home:** Tell a puppet a safe plan; do not carry out a home sound or material test. ## Day 75 · Fresh first response **Shared target:** Give two designs and a user-linked choice for [a new cue task](STUDENT-CHECKS.md). - **A · Draw:** Make two different large-pad plans on the new child page, then choose one. - **B · Tell/AAC:** Give two ideas and one reason for a willing user; adult transcribes without adding an idea. - **C · Direct:** Direct an adult where to point for two proposed cue places, then state your own choice and unknown. **Home:** After your first response, invent a different pretend cue user and ask what they would want. No test is needed. ## Day 76 · A dry new purpose **Shared target:** Say how the dry landing purpose differs and what base position would count. - **A · Draw:** On the [dry vessel brief](print/dry-vessel-brief.pdf), draw a broad proposed boundary around a separate place for each empty vessel. - **B · Tell/AAC:** Explain FULLY ON, EDGE OFF and NOT TRIED for a visible base; name one capacity fact these cannot tell. - **C · Direct:** Direct an adult to trace a proposed broad boundary and describe A/B positions without placing a real vessel. **Home:** Ask a puppet how it would know an empty pretend container was wholly on a drawn pad. No vessel or water needed. ## Day 77 · Approved try or plan **Shared target:** Keep child pad action, adult vessel action and each actual base position separate. - **A · Draw:** Fill [design record](print/design-record.pdf) from an approved real dry action, or mark A and B NOT TRIED. - **B · Tell/AAC:** Say who put down the pad, who placed empty A and B, and what each visible base actually did—or that neither was tried. - **C · Place/direct:** If approved and willing, position a broad pad or direct an adult; only an adult places each empty unbreakable vessel. An untouching plan is equally valid. **Home:** Tell a toy what you would ask an adult to check next. Do not reproduce the station at home. ## Day 78 · Change one thing **Shared target:** Connect one dry-pad change to an actual result or named unknown. - **A · Draw:** Change pad boundary, material or large label on [design record](print/design-record.pdf); mark “seen,” “adult described” or “still unknown.” - **B · Tell/AAC:** Finish “Because I saw/was told/don't yet know ___, I would try ___.” - **C · Direct:** Direct an adult to describe one alternative broad pad position, then say what a later approved dry check would need to show. **Home:** Suggest a change to a pretend landing place and one question about it. No real container needed. ## Day 79 · Two purposes, two questions **Shared target:** Ask different evidence questions for a cue user and a dry landing user. - **A · Draw:** Put a cue question and a separate dry-base question on the [two-purpose brief](print/two-purpose-brief.pdf). - **B · Tell/AAC:** Say what a willing listener would actually report and what an adult would actually see at the dry pad. - **C · Direct:** Direct an adult to point between purpose panels; identify any actual school-approved familiar designed item only if genuinely observed and logged in the [local slot](print/local-source-slot.pdf). **Home:** Ask a toy why the same material might be chosen for one job and left undecided for another. ## Day 80 · Fresh dry-pad response **Shared target:** Design and conditionally evaluate [a new dry-pad task](STUDENT-CHECKS.md) with honest A/B result status. - **A · Draw:** Show two distinct broad-pad ideas, choose one and leave any unobserved base position as NOT TRIED. - **B · Tell/AAC:** Explain two ideas, safe adult vessel handling and exact actual or unknown A/B status; adult writes your words. - **C · Direct/plan:** Direct an adult on pad placement. Only if locally approved may the adult place each empty vessel; otherwise keep a spoken plan. **Home:** After first response, invent a different dry tabletop use and one question you would ask. No home trial.
