Tips:
Initially model how to use the worksheet, then as appropriate, begin to give the student more independence.
You may need to help the student by providing options for the steps. For example: If the error is a student damages another student’s personal item, options for correcting the error could be to apologize, repair the item, or to replace the item.
Pairing visuals can facilitate increased understanding.
