• Take pictures of the environment from the student’s perspective.
For example, photograph key signs, words and names of stores in the community. Draw a map to show community places that are “near”
or “far.”
• Take photos of key people and include throughout the portfolio. Label the photos and indicate the relationship of the person to the student.
• Include concrete samples of items used in the activity, for example, a sales receipt, grocery store bag and package label.
• Increase active student participation. Focus on the student’s strengths
and explore creative ways to involve the student in a meaningful and functional activity. Break the activity down into small chunks and
highlight student participation.
