Task Analysis:
1. Take the student to various locations where crossing the street is a reasonable likelihood for that student's lifestyle. At these locations, describe and point out relevant issues such as crosswalks (preferred), stoplights, looking both ways (see prerequisite COG 5), and proceeding when the way is clear.
2. Use physical guidance and verbal prompts to perform the action of crossing the street at the identified locations. Prompt the student to "look both ways" and "cross when safe."
3. Continue Step 2, reducing physical guidance until the teacher proceeds alongside of the student and uses just verbal prompts. Point out examples where it is not safe.
4. Continue Step 3, using another instructor in addition to yourself so that one person is at the beginning of the crossing and one person is at the end of the crossing. Escort the student as in Sop 3, but stop in the middle of the crossing. Encourage the student to independently continue to the other instructor. Return to the starting point. Reverse the process, using the other instructor's position as the starting point.
5. Continue Step 4, gradually reducing the escort amount until the student performs the activity only with verbal prompting.
6. Continue Step 5, reducing verbal prompting until the terminal objective is met.
