Instructional Ideas

• Have non-verbal learners use picture cards and velcro to place ideas in their topic tree
• Because some learners fine it difficult to decode materials printed on white paper, print the graphic on beige or ecru paper

Classroom Considerations

• Although designed for learners with autism, the graphic is appropriate for all learners and all classes

Pros

• The clean lines of the graphic limit confusion

Cons
