Treasure Hunt

I stole borrowed this idea from a colleague. One of her young clients was having trouble attending to one of our many diagnostic tests featuring a flip book (think the CELF-5, PSL-4, EVT-2, etc.). So she tore up a few yellow Post-It notes and stuck small pieces of "gold" randomly throughout the test.

Let me tell you, I was shocked at how motivating "finding treasure" was for this client! She attended to the stimuli and responded to prompts more readily in order to see if there was more "gold" on the next page. Brilliant!

Have you used Post-It notes in other ways during assessments or therapy?
