- Which level does this pattern implicate, and which levels must you clear first?
- Endurance decay with place loss and a passed acuity screen points to Level 2 (visual efficiency). Clear Level 1 first by confirming acuity and contrast at the measured working distance with habitual correction worn, and rule out validity threats (fatigue, time of day, attention) before naming Level 2.
- Write the present-level statement in one sentence, with numbers.
- Model: "During near copying at 40 cm, [student] maintained 92% accuracy for the first 3 minutes and declined to 58% by minute 9, with 7 place-loss events, limiting completion of written classwork within the allotted time."
- Write one annual goal that a reviewer would call educationally relevant.
- Model: "By [date], during a 10-minute near copying task at 40 cm, [student] will maintain at least 85% copy accuracy with no more than 2 place-loss events in 3 of 4 consecutive data sessions, as measured by OT probe using the baseline task." The occupation, the condition, the number, the criterion, and the measure are all present.
