Photo-to-Symbol Transition & Prompting Protocol
1. Concrete Photo Association Show student the card depicting a child eating/drinking/playing. Connect the visual directly to their physical routine.
2. Pairing with PECS Inset Direct student attention to the corner PECS token so they begin associating the abstract symbol with real actions.
3. Sentence Strip Exchange Student attaches action card to the "I WANT" sentence strip, hands the strip to the communication partner, and receives access.
