As you give the demonstration, be aware of the fact that they are getting the information from what they see and probably ignoring what you say.

Please note. The lacing goes from:

front to back (through the hole) (pic) and then again from

front to back (through the loop) (pic).

Watch the front to back orientation because it is a major part of the scoring criteria.

Hold the tool with the single cordovan stitch on top.

Say:

The score is uncertain from observations of stitching so an alternative activity is suggested.

Say:

Take the tool away from the person.

Select the best suggestion:

After about three minutes, does the person complete three single cordovan stitches correctly?

Wait a few seconds and then give a demonstration.

If they are still trying to do the stitch, wait another minute.

Then say:

Position the tool so that the single cordovan stitch is on the top.

Say:

Observations

Select the behavior that most closely matches your observations:

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 recognizing 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 recognizing 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.
