• A. Progress note
• B. Group
• C. Adaptation
• D. Leader

Answer: (C)

Adaptation is modifying an activity to fit the participant’s abilities, helping them participate with more success and independence. Changing materials is material adaptation, adjusting the tools or items used. Altering the rules or steps is procedural adaptation, and changing the flow or sequence of the task is assembly line adaptation. Together, these are all forms of adaptation—the broad term for tailoring activities to individuals. The other options refer to a progress note (documentation), a group (a collection of participants), or a leader (the facilitator), none of which describe changing activities to fit abilities.
