Your 18-month-old student, Ashley, is too young to follow verbal directions or a visual schedule. How do you structure her therapy session, so she will participate in the activities you have planned?
  1. Place all the activities on the floor and allow Ashley to choose which one she will complete first.
  2. Physically move Ashley from one activity to the next.
  3. Present the activities to Ashley one at a time, and physically move her through each activity. Decrease the amount of assistance you give Ashley as she learns the activities.
  4. Present the activities to Ashley one at a time, moving to the next activity if Ashley does not understand how to complete a task.
Explanation
Answer: C. Since Ashley is too young to follow verbal directions or a visual schedule, you would present the activities to Ashley one at a time. If Ashley does not understand how to complete the activity, you would give her physical assistance until she learns the motions required. Then you would decrease the amount of assistance and allow Ashley to complete the activity herself.
