Lesson VOC 14
Task: Load a truck with products.
Prerequisites: SEN 7, SEN 12
Concept: This particular skill has application to a variety of work settings. The most important skill to be taught is that of proper lifting. Specifically, the student's back should be perpendicular to the floor and lifting should emphasize the kg muscles. If has skills cannot be successfully accomplished, do not proceed with the lesson. In placing the lifted object down, this body position must also be observed in that the back should remain straight. Skills with other equipment such as forklifts may need to be added to the lesson.
Behavioral Objective: When requested to "please load this truck with these boxes,. while indicating the materials and took involved, the student will place 10 boos of light to medium weight in the storage area of the truck, stacked in a manner such that falling over is unlikely, to a 9096 accuracy level for 20 trials.

Emphasis should be given toward keeping the back straight and perpendicular to the floor as well as using the leg muscles to support'the majority of the lifting energy. If the student does not successfully complete this step, the lesson should not be continued.
2. Demonstrate and when necessary physically guide the student through the process of lifting boxes and moving them to a different location that is about 10 feet away.
3. Continue Step 2 until only a verbal request from you as the "supervisor. is needed to move 10 boxes.
4. Modify Step 3 to a truck location and assist the student in placing the boxes on the truck in such a manner that the boxes should not fall down during transport.
5. Continue Step 4, reducing all assistance until the student can complete the task with only a total-task verbal prompt. To ensure safety, maintain super-vision throughout.
