Identify if the adaptation was for environment, activity, materials, instruction or assistance.

In my father-in-law’s final years, he lived with Parkinson’s disease. This disease affects motor skills. Over the years he used many materials to help him manage his life. He used a cane and later a wheel chair. He used a grab stick to help him pick up items from the floor. He used a special tool to help him pull on his socks.

This post has three parts.

First, select two adaptations you observed in the video and answer the following questions for each adaptation:

Describe the adaptation you observed.
Identify if the adaptation was for environment, activity, materials, instruction or assistance.
Second, think about adaptations you have observed in schools, in your family or in your own life. Describe those adaptations and identify the level on the CARA’s Kit continuum

Third, generally we want to start with the least restrictive adaptations whenever possible. Reflect on why it is important to use the least restrictive practices.
