Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Individual Supports Are Central

The plan should show overall group flow and the individualized supports needed for participation.

Student Experience

Students participate in the group routine, project, or activity; they are not required to complete a digital form.

History Limits

Group composition, context, and support profiles affect comparability across activities and should remain visible.

Does this tool create group lesson plans?

No. It structures practitioner-provided group activities and supports; it does not invent curricula or exact activities.

Can I include students who do not need individualized supports?

Yes, but the plan should make explicit when no individualized support is needed for an included student.

Does it measure social competence?

No. Participation observations are descriptive and do not produce unsupported social scores.

What happens if a group session is interrupted?

The session can be marked partial, and observations should remain tied to the activity segments that occurred.
