Selectable text and tactile routes for two…Year 1 Weeks 03 04 Technologies · T1 · Print · Text Alternatives

The original stand planner and choice planner are blank, low-ink visual forms. An adult reads every prompt; the learner can point, sign, use AAC, describe, type, draw or direct adult marks. No source-card answer, test result, learner name or actual school plan is printed. These text forms carry every meaningful label and writing space on the pages.

Stand design and test

1. User need from the explicitly fictional source: _. Unknown / ask before relying: ___.
2. Idea 1: draw/model/describe _. Idea 2: draw/model/describe . I chose idea __ because _____.
3. Safe make steps: 1 _; 2 ; 3 __. An adult pre-cuts or handles a tool when the class safety plan requires it.
4. Test with three story cards and a separate number card. First try actually showed _. I changed one feature . Second try actually showed __. If no physical test occurred, mark not yet observed rather than inventing an outcome.
5. For a new user I would ask: _____. A fictional user's quote is a brief, not real peer feedback.

Tactile route: two separate trays/panels can hold the two ideas; three raised numbered strips mark steps; distinct first/second test cards record what happened. Use large card outlines, easy-grip paper and child-directed adult movement. A flat layout can show design reasoning when building a stand is not safe or accessible; record physical making separately.

Two-choice guide planner

1. Known fictional user need: _. START / INPUT: ___.
2. CHOICE / DECISION: My two choices are _ and ___. Move a token left or right, or select by speech, sign or AAC.
3. OUTPUT 1: blank panel for an original picture/symbol/word/number design _. OUTPUT 2: separate blank panel ___. Ask whether each matches the selected choice.
4. What did the real test show? _. CLEAR? YES / NO: . If no, what will change? __. RETURN / TRY AGAIN: _. END: ___. Trace both branch choices and one return with a token before claiming the algorithm works.
5. Mode used: paper model / approved digital tool? _____. No names, photos or real school map. Paper models show a plan; mark basic digital-tool operation only after an actual approved tool interaction.

Tactile route: raised START and END cards, a Y-shaped string for the choice, one differently textured output panel per branch and a return string to the choice point. A learner may direct an adult operator. Never make a real child act as a proxy for a disability group; ask a real user before applying the design outside this fictional brief.
