  2. Physical assistance

Explanation
Answer: D. Your OT department tells you to use a visual schedule during Geraldo’s therapy sessions. Geraldo is not responding to verbal commands, which indicates that Geraldo does not process auditory sensory input correctly. Using a visual schedule gives Geraldo an alternate method of sensory input through visual cues that let him know what activity is next.
