Book Creator as a consult and individual therapy tool

In my last post, I described the newly available Book Creator for Chrome. Now in Chrome or via the iPad app, you can consider one of my favorite uses for Book Creator- "journaling" with students. In my various modes of service delivery, including school-based consultation and some individual therapy sessions with students I also see in group, I have turned to Book Creator because it:

-is an engaging way to provide visual support for social-cognitive, language organization and executive function methodologies and concepts.
-can I say engaging again? My students love the opportunity to co-create journal pages and add to sketches or other visuals.
-reminds me and students of what we talked about the last meeting, and results in kind of a cumulative toolkit.
-results are sharable- screenshot any page or export or share the link to the whole book.

You can start by having your student design his own "front page" (I usually leave out names):


Book Creator is a great place to sketch out and modify methodologies such as the Zones of Regulation (created here with emojis in an interactive discussion with a student):




It's an easy place to create Incredible Five Point Scales due to the space and availability of colors:


Create story maps and problem solve (icons from Story Grammar Marker®) walking through the steps of making a goal and action plan.


Expand students' thinking about situations and relationships (or non-relationships) with peers. In this case we were discussing patterns of behavior that the student should recognize and decide to avoid a peer.


Create Comic Strip Conversations to provide visual support during a review of a situation. In this case we incorporated the Superflex 5-Step Power Plan in our discussion accompanying the visual.


I'd love to hear if you are using Book Creator in this way, along with some of your "tricks!"

  2. Very interesting book and I liked the methodology that is described in it. I study psychology and I like this kind of material. And thanks to the ghostwriter thesis service, I was able to write a comprehensive term paper about this. The writers helped me with my research and I turned in my assignment fairly quickly.

  3. Book Creator can be a great tool for individual therapy and consultations. It promotes self-expression, helping clients explore their emotions. I offer ghostwriting help USA, assisting individuals in using creative tools like Book Creator to tell their stories.
