1. Determine the student's dominant hand by interacting with the student with a variety of objects and noting which hand appears to initiate the grasping of an object.
2. Place a paper lunch bag over the student's non dominant hand and physically assist him or her in removing it. Repeat this process for the dominant hand. Provide physical guidance as needed.
3. Perform Step 2, replacing the lunch bag with the plastic cup.
4. Perform Step 3, replacing the plastic cup with over sized mittens or gloves.
5. Perform Step 4, replacing the over sized mittens or gloves with those that would normally fit the student.
6. Reduce reinforcement to once per session. Eliminate the need for physical guidance. Reduce verbal prompting to a total-task request: "(Name), please take off your gloves."
