I'll help you create a 6-week group intervention plan for counting backward within 20! Let me gather the appropriate benchmarks and resources.

First, let me clarify a few things:

• How many students will be in this group?
• Are there any specific accessibility needs I should consider (IEP/504 accommodations, ELL support, attention/executive function support, etc.)?

While you provide that information, let me search for the relevant benchmarks and resources...

Now let me search for more specific resources for counting backward within 20.

Perfect! I have gathered excellent resources. Now let me create a comprehensive 6-week intervention plan for kindergarten students working on counting backward within 20, meeting twice a week for 30 minutes.

Thank you for that important information! Having 4 students in the group and knowing that one student uses a communication device is crucial for planning appropriate accommodations.

Accommodations for Student Using Communication Device

Let me enhance your intervention plan with specific supports for the student using AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication):

Key Modifications to Include:

1. Visual Supports

• Use number cards and visual number lines for ALL counting activities
• Pre-program counting sequences into the communication device before each session
• Create visual countdown strips (numbers in sequence that student can point to)

2. Response Methods

• Allow student to respond using device, pointing to numbers, or using gesture
• Provide "thinking time" before requiring responses
• Use choral responses where everyone counts together (student can activate device simultaneously)

3. Partner Structures

• Pair AAC user with a peer buddy during activities like Grab Bag CountingSubscribe to enable download links
• Buddy can help organize materials while AAC user counts using device
• Rotate partners to build relationships with all group members

4. Activity Adaptations

• For exit tickets: Use multiple choice format or "point to the answer" cards
• During games: Provide extended wait time for device access
• Visual Images Launches are IDEAL because they require observation before verbal response

5. Pre-Teaching Vocabulary

• Before each session, review counting words (numbers 1-20) on the device
• Add phrases like "count backward," "one less," "start at," "stop at"
• Include celebration phrases: "I did it!" "That's correct!" "Let me try again"

Would you like me to:

• Update the existing 6-week plan with AAC accommodations built into each session?
• Create a separate accommodation guide to use alongside the plan?
• Search for additional visual/hands-on resources that work particularly well for students using communication devices?

Also, if you'd like that downloadable HTML version of your plan (original or modified), I can generate that for you now! Just let me know which option works best for your needs.
