Last year I had a student who was a fan of Cars and Mater. He struggled to keep his thoughts and his voice off while in the classroom. So I wanted to come up with something that would turn off his thoughts slowly and something that he would enjoy using as he put his thoughts in park. When Mater was on the road cruising the student was allowed to share his thoughts and talk to his friends. As Mater is "pulling in" to the parking lot the student knows he is about to put his thoughts in park. When Mater is in the "parking lot" that means the student needs to stop talking and it is time to listen. This visual really helped my student. He loved physically putting Mater and his "thoughts in park."
