Lesson VOC 26
Task: Wrap items in plastic wrap. Prerequisites: ADT 3, COG 6, SEN 12, SEN 13, VOC 5 Concept: In this activity, items are wrapped in plastic wrap but not sealed. Examples might include wrapping food items for a bake sale, preparing items for shipment, or wrapping food in a grocery store. Both fine-motor and gross-motor skills are involved in this activity. To obtain control of the plastic materials, repetition is the best teach-ing method. This sample lesson is generically presented and should be modified based on the specific work task that will or may occur. Behavioral Objective: When requested to 'Please wrap. five specific items pointed to by a “supervisor," the student will remove from a roller/container an adequate amount of plastic wrap and completely cover the referenced items to a 9096 accuracy level for 20 trials. Materials: Plastic wrap, preferably in a box with its own cutter, and sample items that would be wrapped in a work setting such as small food items or a series of items that could be prepared for shipment. Task Analysis: I. Assist the student in developing the ability to hold the plastic wrap container in the nondominant hand. Practice being able to hold it firmly. 2. Guide the student to begin gripping the wrap, using the dominant hand, and begin to pull out enough plastic wrap to .11y cover the item selected for wrapping. This is a visuaHpatial relationship skill that may require some practice. To demonstrate that the amount of wrap selected is sufficient, you should proceed to show the student the remainder of the process. 3. Prompt the student to use an upward or downward movement, as appropriate, and guide the student to cut the plastic wrap from the container. 4. Guide the student in wrapping the item with the wrap obtained from Step 3. 5. Combine the concepts of Steps 1 through 4 and reduce guidance until only a total-task verbal request is needed.
