Map a clear movement space

Supplied materials

• Paper or a text document; all cases below are original fictional learning inputs.
• An adult may read aloud; drawing or spoken answers are valid. No personal health information or physical performance is required.
• The drawing shows a chair beside a bag. A seated arm circle would hit the bag. The model is revised by drawing a smaller comfortable gesture inside a clear area, or by keeping the entire task on paper. The important evidence is that the arrow no longer crosses the obstacle. Drawing a safe option does not prove that a person can perform it.
• A drawing shows a small hand gesture fully inside a clear area. Which choice fits?
• An arm arrow crosses a bag in the picture. Which choice fits?
• The picture shows a wet floor. Which choice fits?
• The learner prefers drawing only. Which choice fits?
• A wide gesture in the model would reach another person. What fits?
• The clear area is blocked by broken equipment. What fits?

Learn the idea

A movement space should have room for the chosen action and a clear way to stop. Objects, people and slippery areas can make a space unsuitable. We check the space before beginning, not after a collision.

Draw a person as a dot and the room as a box. Mark a clear area around the dot. An arm movement needs different room from moving across the room. On paper, an arrow shows where movement would go.

This lesson needs only a drawing. Optional comfortable seated gestures require adult-approved space and may be skipped. Do not move furniture, test a slippery floor or perform a risky action to show you understand.

1. Read or listen to the pretend story. Point to the details the question gives you.
2. Draw the person as a dot. Follow the whole arrow and check that it stays clear of people and objects.
3. Check your answer against the example. Say what matches and what you would change.
4. Try the practice questions, then the extra task. Drawing or spoken answers are welcome.

Take it further

Draw a box containing two chairs and a clear middle area. Add a dot and a hand arrow that crosses no chair or person. Expected: a fully clear modeled path, plus “paper only is okay.”
