0/8 sorted
How to run it
Start by talking about the two places: what you hear and see at each one. Read each action aloud and let the student sort it. Then flip it: what might people think if someone cheered loudly in the library? Keep the tone curious. Cheering is great, and the same action that surprises people in one place is exactly right in another.
Cueing ladder
Start at the top. Add support one step at a time.
- IndependentSet up the situation and wait for the student to respond on their own.Log as correct
- Nonverbal cueUse a look, a gesture or a point to the visual cue card.Log as cued
- Indirect promptAsk 'What could you say now?' or 'What might they be thinking?'Log as cued
- ModelShow what to say or do, then run the moment again so the student can try it.Log as cued
Adjust it
Use two very different places, and picture each place together before sorting.
Add a third place and sort the actions again, or plan what helps someone who needs something different there.
Matching IEP goal
Given a place or situation, Student will choose actions that fit it and explain what others there might expect in 8 of 10 opportunities across 3 consecutive sessions, given no more than an indirect prompt.

Eight actions and two places: a soccer game and a library. Cheer loudly, jump and clap, call to a friend across the field, wave a big flag, whisper to a friend, turn pages quietly, walk slowly between shelves, ask the librarian quietly. The student sorts each action to the place where it fits best. Every action is fine somewhere; the skill is matching it to the place.
What to listen for
Notice whether the student sorts by the place or by whether they like the action. Some students put every fun action at the soccer game, which is a good start. Listen for reasons that mention the people around, such as people are reading. Notice whether the student can name a third place and sort the actions again, which shows the idea is transferring.
Carrying it home
At home, before going somewhere new, talk about what it might be like: is it a loud place or a quiet place, and what do people do there? Afterwards, talk about what the child noticed. Keep it as planning, not rules, and remember that some children need a quiet place even at a loud event, which is worth planning for too.
