The person's attention is on putting down each piece as opposed to making a picture of a clover. Pieces are usually placed along one border or all pieces are used. The shapes are often placed in an upright position and the person may request more pierces to fill all spaces. The pieces are poorly organised and does not resemble the picture.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 3 High.

Select the behaviour that most closely matches your observations:

Introduce the activity by saying:

Ending the Activity

The activity ends when the person has finished the design or shows signs of fatigue.

Observe the number of times they glance at the sample.

Sit the person at a table or place a tray on their lap that they can work from.

Place the blank card on their working space.

Place the pieces next to the blank card with the coloured side face up.

Hold up the sample in a position where you can see when their pupils focus on the sample.

Pay attention to the number of times they glance at the sample.

The pieces will need to be pre-cut by the therapist.

Laminating the sample and pieces will make the activity cleanable and reusable.

Magnetic stickers may also be used with a metallic board for people affected by tremors.

Feel free to modify this clover activity by printing it on cardboard, craft foam or using felt pieces if they have reduced hand function.

You will require a blank card or other flat surface for them to work from.

The clover profile activity is used to differentiate between profiles ACL 3 High to ACL 5 Low.

The stitch is a line with two loops. Tracing the line in their mind and physically doing it requires the formation and retention of an image.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 5.8.

Further observations of the secondary consequences of spatial properties can be seen in the stencilling activity.

The prompts direct their attention to improvements. The score is for following a verbal direction without a demonstration.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 5.6.

Test the difference between following verbal directions for surface appearances or spatial fit with the stencilling activity.

Remembering after the 1^st demonstration suggests some learning is possible.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 5.4.

Test the ability to see spatial fit by the spaces in the copying activity - Design D or stencilling activity.

Remembering after the 2^nd demonstration suggests some learning may be possible.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 5.2.

Test the ability to see a surface appearances with the peanut butter or stencilling activity.
