Next time this activity is implemented, something

that I might do differently is start her in room seven
as this is where she seems most motivated to work
 and provide more reinforcements when completing
tasks. Give her options (bubbles or tablet).

There were no modifications made to this activity.

Some prompting was needed throughout the activity.

To extend from this one, an experience I might plan

is another matching game with some of her favourite
Disney princess characters. Student A seems to really
enjoy her princess, so by providing her with an
activity that I know will interest her, I feel she will be
motivated to complete it.
