Task analysis allows us to analyze each desired end use – what skills are necessary for this to happen? How could we isolate and progressively build those skills that might make this possible?
The authors have performed task analysis on a wide variety of tasks and functions and have developed activities that can progressively develop the needed skills. The activities in these and all the kits in the TEDI Volumes use engaging age appropriate activities to provide a cognitive learning program and develop progressive skills across domains (Learning Behavior/Cognitive, Communication and Motor).
