3. Equipment needed: paper, pencils, markers, or crayons


4. Activity Description – participants can vary 1-5
a. First, grab a piece of paper, crayons, markers, pencils, and a place to sit.
b. Next, think of yourself as a superhero and what you would look like
c. Then, draw yourself as what you imagined you would look like if you were
your own personal-original superhero.
d. Finally, color your superhero in and write what your specific personal
power would be
5. Primary social interaction pattern(s) (activity analysis) – the primary
interaction would be aggregate. The activity can be done within the company
of others, but each has their own personal outcome. Each person works on
their own to complete their drawing.
6. Adaptation: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a condition that includes
attention difficulty, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity. It often begins in early
childhood and can progress throughout adulthood. This condition can
contribute to a limited attention span, being hyperactive, low self esteem,
troubled relationships, and difficulty with school and work. Treatments for this
condition can include therapy or medication. An adaptation for this drawing
activity for someone with ADHD would be to take a break if the person seems
to become uninterested or hyperactive. Taking a break from the activity and
talking about something else or taking a short walk can help the person come
back and refocus their attention on the activity. Giving extra time for the
activity would be effective because it allows the person to focus their attention
on it, not become stressed, and not become hyperactive.
7. Participant: 13 year old adolescent diagnosed with ADHD
