Perspective Taking

Perspective-taking is a skill kids learn that helps them understand that who is talking (I and you), where someone is (here and there), and when something happened (now and then) can change depending on the situation. It means being able to switch viewpoints and update an answer when the person, place, or time changes, like knowing that I refers to the speaker, here refers to the speaker’s place, and then refers to an earlier time.

Basic Perspective-Taking (I/YOU) Stories with People & Places

This program teaches deictic perspective-taking (I/You and Here/There) using brief two-sentence stories that state only where two people are (e.g., ‘Jack is at the park. Jill is at the grocery store.’). For each story, the learner first answers literal comprehension questions (who is at which place). The learner then answers perspective-taking switch questions where the people are swapped (e.g., Jack becomes Jill and Jill becomes Jack) and/or the place labels are swapped (e.g., park becomes grocery store and grocery store becomes park), and must state the updated place based on the switch. Responses are scored for accuracy to show flexible perspective shifting under changing cues.

This program teaches deictic perspective-taking (I/You and Here/There) using brief two-sentence stories.

The learner then answers perspective-taking switch questions where the people are swapped (e.g., Jack becomes Jill and Jill becomes Jack) and/or the place labels are swapped (e.g., park becomes store and store becomes park), and must state the updated place or action based on the switch.

Needs & Intent Perspective-Taking (School Social) (Grade 2-4)

This program teaches Grade 2–4 students to infer and state what someone needs and what they want to do (intent) in common school situations. Each item shows two people in the same setting with different actions, and the learner answers consistent questions about needs and intent, then practices perspective-shifts using I / you prompts. The goal is to build flexible social understanding for classroom, recess, and teacher–peer interactions using short, concrete, observable scenes.
