Therapy Phases:
- Describe a Sequence that is Already Together: When presented with pictures of steps to a sequence (in the correct order), Client will use complete sentences and organizational words like “first, next, then, and last” to describe 3-5 step sequences on at least 4 of 5 opportunities.
- Put Steps in Order and Then Describe: When presented with picture steps to a common task (not in the correct order), Client will arrange the pictures in the correct order and then use complete sentences and organizational words like “first, next, then, and last” to describe 3-5 step sequences on at least 4 of 5 opportunities.
- Describe Sequences without Pictures: When prompted, Client will describe the steps (in order) to complete a common sequence or task (such as pouring a bowl of cereal) using complete sentences and organizational words like “first, next, then, and last” on at least 4 of 5 opportunities.
