Behavior Observed

The child is motivated to move and explore the environment by sitting, standing, crawling. She can transition from one movement pattern to another independently.

Routines-based Intervention (Embedded Instruction)

Encourage parents to involve the child in daily activities in each room of the house. Place interesting objects or materials associated with that room in a place the child can access. Talk to the child about the objects and demonstrate their functions. This will increase motivation to use them.
