- Written Commentary (13 pages) that provides a context for my instructional choices and describes, analizes, and reflects on how I design and implement meaningful instruction in communication and literacy.
- Student Profile (3 pages)
- Instructional Approach (3 pages)
- Analysis of video recording (3 pages)
- Reflection (4 pages)
- One video recording (15 minutes) that shows me guiding the learning in the instruction that I have designed for the student, either in an individual or group context.

The best book for this portfolio entry is Visual Strategies for Improving Communication : Practical Supports for School & Home by Linda A. Hodgdon.

It is full of easy to use techniques and strategies that will help these students participate more effectively in social interactions and life routines. I didn't buy this book anymore, I browsed through it at Barnes and Nobles and got a lot of ideas that I used for my featured student. This is one of my highest scored portfolio entries.
