Lesson ADT 141
Task: Dial a telephone.
Prerequisites: ADT 1, ADT 140, COG 6, COG 24, SEN 12, SEN 13
Concept: The ability to pick up the phone has been addressed in the previous task of "answer a telephone" (ADT 140). Coupling the ability to hold the receiver in the non-dominant hand with the fine-motor skills and hand—eye coordination of pressing a touch-tone phone keypad is the anticipated outcome of this exercise. Some physical guidance will be necessary. Although the ability to match numbers (COG 24) is a listed prerequisite, color coding for specific numbers can be used if number recognition is difficult.
