How I use VOISS ADVISOR:

I have familiarized myself with the VOISS Advisor website to the point where I can navigate it fluently. This is so I can be a resource for my teachers when they have questions about anything VOISS related and train them to use VOISS Advisor content. I also use videos and resources from the “evidence-based practices” tab in trainings for teachers, paraprofessionals & support staff. In addition to the content on Advisor I use the website to read FAQ’s and ask tech support related questions related to the VOISS app.

Here’s how advisor has made my planning easier:

Within the lesson plans I…

• Use the “definition of the social skill” to help write BIP goals & benchmarks for students, based on areas identified in the VOISS screener.

Through the “VOISS App” tab I…

• Access the “VOISS Inventory ” button which takes me to the portal. There I can see the social skill domains covered. I guide my teachers to use the inventory results to build students’ programming based on areas prioritized.
• Access the “VOISS Progress Monitoring Tool.” I help my teachers become familiar with the graphs and data displayed here. Once a student has mastered a skill in the app, we then start planning for generalization. The Progress Monitoring portion of VOISS allows us to make data based decisions.
