Lesson VOC 62
Task: Clean (bus) restaurant tables.
Prerequisites: ADT 24, ADT 124, S&L 19, VOC 5
Concept: This sample lesson is an extension of the concept of clearing a table after meals in a home setting (see prerequisite ADT 24) and cleaning tables and chairs (see prerequisite ADT 124). In this case, however, the assumption is that the task is taking place in a restaurant setting and different processes, along with more speed, may be required. It is fair to say that the action involved is similar to that for a busperson.
Behavioral Objective: When directed by a "supervisor" to bus an identified table at a restaurant, the student will carry a tray to the table, place all items to be cleared from the table on the tray, take those items to a disposal or return area, and clean the table and chairs to a 90% accuracy level for 20 trials.
Materials: A tray (preferably with deep sides), a clean towel, and spray cleaner.
Task Analysis:
1. Review with the student the concept of cleaning a table in a home environment.
2. Physically assist the student in obtaining a tray, going to a vacated table, and placing all items that should not remain at the table onto the tray.
3. Once all items are on the tray, verbally prompt the student to clean the table and chairs in the same manner as the prerequisite task of cleaning such items in the home.
4. Escort the student, with the student carrying the tray but with you providing assistance as needed, to the area where the trash, waste food, and dirty dishes are taken. Empty the tray as appropriate.
5. Combine the concepts of Steps 2 through 4 into one activity that is prompted verbally in a step-by-step manner.
6. Continue Step 5, reducing prompting to a total-task verbal request. Continue until the objective is met.
