Adaptations

Allowing Charlie to choice his topic with a partner so it will be of interest to him. Allowing students to work with a partner, will have someone to redirect Charlie

if he does not remain on task. Broke the task into smaller steps, so that Charlie can work on one small task at

a time and work up to the completion of the whole project. Gave students many options for types of media and programs they are able to

use, which will help Charlie to find a project that is of interest to him. Give Charlie a timer and a certain amount of time to complete each step of the

project. Set up a reward system, so that after Charlie completes one step of the project

he is able to spend a few minutes playing a game.
