Sensory Information

By Anonymous (not verified), 5 March, 2025

Within ACL 4.8, they have a more robust ability to continue to match to the sensory cues until they are done.

Slight changes in shades of colours are not noticed, neither are fine spaces. The person can use information held in their working memory (a few seconds) until they are done. Matching to sight, sound, taste and touch is more robust.

Bold smells are noticed and may be pleasant or unpleasant to them.

Demonstration

Even though they can read simple instructions, they are still hard for them to understand. The assessment of reading is further complicated by normal behaviour, which is: if it doesn't work, read the directions. When reporting on reading comprehension the tester must inform the tested that this is a test of reading comprehension because most of us avoid it whenever we can. A video is a demonstration that is easier to understand.

Verbal

Verbal directions are usually given as a matter of social convention with demonstrations and diagrams, which are the primary sources of information.

Within ACL 4.8, the person is able to follow written or verbal directions for one new action at a time inflexibly. The action must be concrete and all changes must be perceivable.

When verbal information contains abstract information, it is rarely understood until ACL 6.

Samples

Samples are good to use when a standard of performance is required. Functioning within ACL 4.8, the person is able to keep matching to the sample until they are done.

Activities that require matching to a sample may be used to sustain the person's attention.

Checklists

Checklists are used to write down new steps in rote learning to do a repetitive activity, which enters the scale with ACL 4.8.
