Instructional Ideas

• State the objective of using the graphic and provide a reason for using it to represent relationships
• Model how to use the graphic to represent levels of relationships
• Use the graphic to discuss the appropriate social interactions for the various levels of relationships

Classroom Considerations

• Because some learners find it difficult to process black images on white paper, print the graphic on beige or ecru paper
• Although designed for learners with special needs, the graphic is appropriate for all pupils

Pros

• Great for use with learners with autism who find it difficult to understand levels of social interaction

Cons

• The narrow bands may make it difficult for those with motor skills issues to record information
