Using Lyon and Sims' method, the clinician would __ the situation and have the person __ with as many __ as needed.

• A. describe, draw, cues
• B. assess, describe, prompts
• C. analyze, sketch, words
• D. explain, illustrate, gestures

Answer: (A)

The method centers on building a shared understanding of the task and using a visual representation to guide performance. By describing the situation, the clinician creates a common frame of reference. Having the person draw it then externalizes the plan, making the steps concrete and seeable. Cues are provided as needed to support execution and can be gradually reduced as competence grows. This combination promotes active problem-solving and participation, rather than merely evaluating or explaining, and the drawing plus flexible cueing is a hallmark of this approach.
