It's 2 pm on Saturday, and you're out for a bike ride with friends.
About halfway down a small hill, you see an adult and a child at the
side of the road. It appears that the child may have fallen. As you
approach, you ask if you can help, to which you hear a mom's
thankful "yes." The child, who is about 8 years old, is sitting quietly
and does not respond when you say "hi." The mother explains that
her son has atypical autism. Based on this information, which of the
following techniques might you use to complete your assessment?
a. Give the child simple, one-step directions.
b. Speak only to the child.
c. Speak to the child loudly to get his attention.
d. Ask the child open-ended questions.
