When the single cordovan stitch is introduced, the cognitive demands may cause anxiety.

• Respond to all expressions of concern by saying:

General guidelines for the single cordovan stitch:

• If less than three stitches are made, say:

• Avoid verifying correct or incorrect performance.
• Be quiet and observe.
• If the person asks to stop, end the stitching activity.

The concept of doing an activity guides them through three stitches.

The concept of a visual error is used to detect the front and back and the cross-in-back error.

The twisted error is either not seen or is unsolvable.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 4.2.

Similar patterns in recognising visual errors may be seen in the copy a design activity.

The concept of doing an activity guides them through three stitches.

The concept of making an error is absent so they are unable to perceive visual mistakes.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 4.0.

Difficulty in recognising visual errors can also be seen in the copying activity.

The concept of three is an idea about being done. The empty space is a visual cue.

The visual cue is overriding the concept of being done when the person goes through more holes.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 3.8.

The inability to do three stitches is associated with not forming a concept of not being done.

Reverting back to a running stitch is associated with an inability to retain directions.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 3.6.

Verify following directions and forming a concept of being done with a colouring activity.

Completing three or more running stitches indicates an ability to sustain attention to a repetitive action.

Following a line is the ability required to use consecutive holes.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 3.4.

Further evaluation may be done with colouring or copying activity.

Making less than three running stitches anywhere on the tool indicates an awareness of an action on an object.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 3.2.

Further evaluation may be done with a colouring activity.

Grasp indicates an awareness of an object.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 3.0.

Further evaluation may be done with colouring.

Turn so the person cannot see the tool as you make a twisted error.

Say:

Give the person time to recognise and correct the error.

Prompts

If the person corrects the twisted error by removing the stitch from the hole say:
