Thinking and Communication Skills: Jesse has difficulty engaging in pretend <strong>play</strong><br />
because it requires abstract thinking, e.g. pretending to be a bus driver, set up some<br />
chairs to be a bus, and act the roles; steer the bus, press the horn, ring the bell and<br />
drive the bus.<br />
She needs to do role <strong>play</strong><br />
where the <strong>play</strong> <strong>is</strong><br />
demonstrated and<br />
She can then be encouraged<br />
to copy the modelled <strong>play</strong>.<br />
She can be the driver.<br />
modelled for her.<br />
Pay the driver, walk<br />
down the a<strong>is</strong>le,<br />
find a seat.
