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.
