• Figures out how to navigate a new playground structure
• Learns a new craft activity (folding, tying) with demonstration
• Plans body movements to fit through an obstacle course

How to Measure

• Successfully imitates a 4-step movement sequence after one demonstration
• Navigates a novel obstacle course on first attempt
• Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) - praxis subtests
• Clinical observation of motor planning during novel tasks
