Bold number with *= skill becomes predictably reliable at this level. Key: 0 = Full (100%) passive physical assistance required, no active participation. 1 = Moderate (75%) physical assistance is needed for her to continue part of a motion/action while assisted practice is faded. 2 = Minimal (25%) physical assist is needed to continue partial or entire motion/action as assisted practice is faded, OR sustained grasp once placed. 3 = Touch prompt and/or gesturing cue needed for her to initiate and complete at least part of a motion/action. 4 = Initiated after physically assisted practice was stopped, she resumed same action and completed at least part, OR initiated part of a sequence of an action w/o physical cues. 5 = Initiated and completed the action independently, or used this skill while performing another more complex functional action.
