You are asked to lead an exercise group for cognitively disabled adults. How do you present the exercises to this group?
  1. Keep the exercises simple, and demonstrate the steps of each exercise until each member of the group can follow the task.
  2. Play a video demonstrating the exercises, and tell the participants to follow along.
  3. Ask each member of the group to come up with an exercise and teach it to the group.
  4. Run the exercise group just like you would any other exercise group, as you expect this group of adults to participate independently in the community.
Explanation
Answer: A. You present exercises to this group by keeping the exercises simple and demonstrating the steps of each exercise until each member of the group can follow the task. Adults with cognitive disabilities take longer to learn smaller pieces of information. For all of the adults to be able to follow the exercises, you would want to select exercises with fewer steps and take extra time teaching those steps.
