2. Counting to 10 gives the person a reasonable amount of time to attempt the step independently.
3. Visiting the learning environment allows for a first - hand understanding of how tasks align with the environment and the person's learning style.
4. If the initial prompt isn't working, a more intrusive prompt can guide the person better.
