Situation 1 of 3

Everyone has an idea

Mabel’s group is planning an art project. Several friends talk at once, and Mabel misses the plan. What could help?

Choose one or more helpful ideas

Pick an idea to see how it could help.

Try it your way: What helps you follow a group? You can speak, sign, draw, point, or write.

You may move on without choosing. Participation is always your choice.

For grown-ups

Read or sign the situation together. Invite the child’s ideas without testing their hearing, asking them to imitate another person’s hearing, or requiring personal stories. Build on their suggestions and take responsibility for arranging support.
