Behavior Observed

The child uses a wet cloth (wrung out by an adult) to wipe back-and-forth and up-and-down on a table.

Routines-based Intervention (Embedded Instruction)

Early childhood educators and parents can ask children to look at what needs to be done, so they begin to notice needed tasks. For example, when taking a bath, look at the empty tub and say, “What do we need to do?” When there is a messy table, ask, “What can we do to fix this?”
