Say:

"I would like to see if you can complete this ironing activity with just the written instructions?

Have a try and if you need more help, I can provide it."

Can the person complete the ironing activity with only the written instructions and a sample? (ACL 5.8)

Note: A prompt may be needed to use a protective cloth for ironing on the vinyl.

Introduce the activity by saying:

Ending the Activity

The activity ends when the person has finished the ironing activity or they say they want to discontinue the task.

Observe the number of times they glance at the sample.

The ironing assessment is different from other ACLS-6 activities as its aim is to ascertain what quality of information the person requires in order to complete a complex novel task.

Give the person a few opportunities to complete the ironing activity with no support before increasing the level of support provided. You are dropping the task demand of the activity by providing hints, then prompts and finally demonstrations, until they can complete it.

Read through the instructions to see what levels of support you can provide and when to provide.

The following materials are required:

The ironing activity is used to differentiate between ACL 4.6 to 5.8.

Being able to use two striking features simultaneously results in the ability to align objects using horizontal and vertical axis simultaneously.

The smaller yellow hearts are aligned with the larger red hearts.

The inability to hold an image in their working memory results in poor ability to overlap one image over another.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 4.4.

Placing the red heart shapes in a rough position with the smaller yellow heart placed over the red heart.

The hearts are poorly aligned as they are unable use two striking features of linear information simultaneously. The linear information used is the horizontal and vertical axis.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 4.2.

The ability to grasp the concept that they are making a picture results in red heart petals being placed above the pot. These pieces are likely to be poorly organised.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 4.0.
