Multiple Choice

What is an adaptation?

Adaptation means enabling participation by keeping the same activity goal as peers and adding supports, so the child can perform the task with help rather than changing what the task is or excluding them. The best choice fits this idea because it describes doing the same task as everyone else but with appropriate support. The other options describe changing the task or outcome, relying only on a tool without preserving the shared goal, or removing the child from the activity, none of which capture adapting to participate in the same activity.
