Clean means that the transparent greasy residue is removed.

The following materials are required:

• 1 sheet of white craft-foam letter or half a letter size. This will be reusable for several assessments.
• ¼ teaspoon of smooth peanut butter per assessment.
• Tissues.
• Wet sanitizing wipes or liquid hand sanitizers and more tissues.

This activity is in pilot testing phase. It is subject to change.

The peanut butter activity is used to confirm or rule out ACL 5.2.

Coordinates both the left and right hands simultaneously. Spins the page with one hand while cutting with the other hand. Tips of the maple leaf are not cut off and curved lines are cut accurately with no white paper between where they cut and the line.

Within ACL 5.4, the person is able to coordinate their left and right hands simultaneously.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 5.4.

The person cuts the tips off the maple leaf or leaves white paper between the line and where they cut. The cuts are straight.

Below ACL 5.4, the person is unable to coordinate their left and right hands simultaneously.

Score

A score has not been confirmed but rather ACL 5.4 has been ruled out.

Select the behavior that most closely matches your observations:

Give the person the printout of the maple leaf and the pair of scissors and say:

If they cannot hold the paper steady in one hand and the scissors in the other hand, end the task.

Further observations of someone's use of spatial fit in how they move around in their environment and how they move large objects around in tight spaces is required.

Introduce the activity by saying:

Spatial fit means the ability to perceive a 3-dimensional object and how it fits in with surrounding objects.

Bi-lateral hand coordination is related to the ability to use spatial fit. Rotating an object while modifying it with the other hand accurately requires the ability to perceive the 3^rd dimension.

The question is: Do people within ACL 5.4 coordinate the actions of both their left and right hands simultaneously in order to cut along the curved line with this maple leaf?
