1. Can my client read/write? If they can't, how will I adapt this activity? What if part of a group can and part can't?
2. Does my client speak or comprehend English? If they don't, how will I communicate and make the session meaningful?
3. Can my client follow two step directions or more? How will I shape an activity if they don't?
4. Does my client have the ability to think abstractly?
I've had a lot of face palm moments with the groups at a group home that I see. These questions are so simple and when I overlook them I feel so silly!
So that's the short list. Ask these first.
