Lesson Plan

First Step Focus Plan

Students will learn to pinpoint and articulate the very first action needed to begin multi-step tasks, building confidence and organizational habits.

Many students delay or struggle with assignments because they can’t identify how to start. Focusing on the first step reduces overwhelm, boosts independence, and improves task initiation skills.
