Offer choices without diagnosing or assigning learning styles. Every route supports the day's stated planning and explanation goal. Actual child sound-making is available when wanted, locally reviewed and accessible. A child-directed adult's actual sound is adult performance, not child performance; silent direction is a plan. Aural response, pulse/rhythm performance, sustained sound and actual sharing require their own observed evidence. No forced sound, voice, movement, touch, source, speed, simultaneous role or purchase. A pass and another short sitting are available.
| Day | Optional quiet making/listening route | Broad fixed-card/tactile planning route | Drawing, AAC or child-directed adult route |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21 | If wanted, child makes pulse alone at 1–4 or rhythm alone at 1,3,4 with a familiar reviewed quiet source and adult beat cue; then notices rest2. Adult-directed sound is adult performance only if sounded. | Fix four upper X and lower X REST X X; point/read/trace the four broad places, choosing own purpose. | Draw/AAC/direct a neutral adult to save the two rows and own idea; silent direction is planning. |
| 22 | Child may try one or both reviewed quiet phrases: rhythm1,3,4 or1,2,3; prefer/keep/change/stop. Child and directed adult sounding are recorded separately. | Move a broad REST2 to4 and replace2 with X under fixed pulse; compare three events. | Draw both rows or use AAC “quiet here”; direct silent placement or actual adult sound by choice. |
| 23 | Child may make short sounds1 and4, waiting2–3 while adult cues four beats; one actual phrase is enough. Adult can sound it by direction instead. | Put lower X1/4 and REST2/3 under fixed four pulse places; show two events. | Draw/direct the two-sound phrase and choose a purpose or music alone; no heard evidence from the drawing. |
| 24 | With suitable wanted reviewed held source, child or directed adult makes LONG1–2/X3/rest4; otherwise a separate short/rest trial plus silent held plan. No required voice/breath. | Fix one broad band1–2, X3 and REST4; trace/count band once. | Draw/AAC/direct the same single band and own purpose; no sustained-sound claim from silent direction. |
| 25 | Only after first independent K plan, optional locally reviewed sound of the child's row can add separately observed evidence; unfinished is not yet observed. | Use fixed K cards; child directs one change under the unchanged public brief; offer another short sitting. | Point/draw/AAC/neutral scribe preserves first K response and reason; no speed score. |
| 26 | Optional locally reviewed live or separately cleared J rendering: listen/respond or direct adult to REST1/LONG2–3/X4; record who sounded. | Fix REST1, one raised band2–3, X4 under four pulse X. | Draw/describe the middle band and final X; complete planning without claiming heard hold. |
| 27 | If available/wanted, child tries one suitable reviewed source for REST1/LONG2–3/X4, then optionally another; keep/change/stop. If no suitable hold, actual short/rest trial and held plan stay separate. | Keep broad REST1/LONG2–3/X4 fixed while choosing suitable source labels; labels alone are intended versions. | AAC/dictate source and unchanged places, direct actual adult sound or plan silently; no inferred timbre recognition. |
| 28 | Child may make one short actual own phrase using suitable reviewed source; direct adult sound or choose a separate short/rest trial if a hold is unavailable. Rehearse once by choice. | Place one two-cell band, X and REST over four fixed places; child chooses own purpose/music alone. | Draw/direct an original constrained plan and keep/change/stop; an open alternative is named separately from the target. |
| 29 | Optional child quiet phrase and willing listener, or child-directed actual adult sound; source encounter uses actual saved score/read version, not uncleared playback. | Encounter actual model through fixed raised rows; respond by pointing/AAC. Show own score to a willing person only if chosen. | Read actual source/type/purpose accurately; save own response via AAC/drawing/scribe. Choose private plan, paper share, puppet rehearsal or pass distinctly. |
| 30 | After independent L response, optional reviewed rendering adds separate observed evidence; unfinished is not yet observed and may use another sitting. | Trace unchanged L band/fixed cells; independently answer all four public questions without hints. | Draw/point/AAC/neutral scribe preserves first L response and band explanation; no completion-speed score. |
Privately record date, observer, actual maker/source/phrase, help and child's own response; aural/pulse/rhythm or actual willing audience/medium only if observed. Route choice is not evidence of ability or preference beyond what the child expresses. All candidate recordings remain held until human/device/volume clearance; live sources have separate local review.
