Fictional example: Rae can request a quieter room and written instructions.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Support includes environmental resources as well as personal effort.

Map available people, objects, routines, and accommodations that make one ordinary task more workable.
3. Compare possibilities
Generate at least two interpretations or options. Mark what you know, what you are guessing, and what remains outside your control.
4. Decide together
What support changes the situation rather than asking you to endure it? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
