What Happened Next provides a fun method of working on inferencing, sequencing, and congnitive organization. Interactive Startup is designed to provide a therapist, or other supervising adult with additional interaction and other language building opportunities.
In Standard Mode, the game starts with two images in the display along with a missing image. Interactive Startup, or Therapist Mode, is designed to help the therapist, parent, or other adult to encourage interaction and expressive language from their student.
In our illustration, the first picture plotted in the box and below after the bouncing "1" was clicked. Once you finish interacting with your student using the first image, click anywhere on the screen to close the image. Continue by clicking the bouncing "2."
The therapist or other supervising adult now has an opportunity to ask some questions, such as:
If the purpose of the interaction is to encourage expressive language and your student provides an answer that is not what you expected, it may still be fine. Continue to encourage expressive language.
Perhaps your student can ask you some questions, as well!
