# Selectable text and tactile routes for two A4 planners

The original [stand planner](stand-planner.svg) and [choice planner](choice-path.svg) 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.
