Skill Chaining - accessibility tool

Hi everybody,

Last year I shared a free resource I created called 'The Universal Sandpit' with a focus on AI tools for Inclusive Schools.

I've since added many more tools to the site to help educators support neurodivergent students or any student who would benefit from accessibility tools of this nature: I focus on solutions for executive functioning needs and cognitive load.

One of the tools I've just built, for educators and families, is called 'Skill Chaining'. It uses the premise of 'forward chaining' (scaffolding how a student will learn a skill) and 'backward chaining' (building in success from the conclusion to the beginning).

A screenshot of my skill chaining web app. There are three text fields: Skill to teach, Age range, and Chaining method.

See how you go inputting different skills you'd like to work on with students, from practical life skills through to academic acquisitions.

In addition to these free 'AI Tools for Inclusive Schools', I had the wonderful opportunity recently to deliver a TEDx talk on my use of AI to support executive functioning needs through a walk and talk method. You can check out the talk before, it may be useful to students you're working with, or you as an educator :) Planning lessons while taking a morning stroll is a lot of fun.

Thanks all, warmest -

Thank you for including your Tedx Talk - such an interesting perspective on AI and certainly something to ponder - and try!
