Adapting an activity can:

Adapting an activity can:

• A. Change the activity itself by modifying tools or rules
• B. Change the client’s diagnosis
• C. Remove all components
• D. Have no effect

Answer: (A)

Adapting an activity means adjusting how a task is performed so a person can participate within their current abilities. The most effective way to do this is by changing the tools or the rules of the task, which alters its demands without removing the activity itself. For example, using larger, easier-to-grasp utensils or simplifying steps helps someone engage in a meaningful task they value, even if their grip strength or working memory is limited. This approach supports participation and progress by matching the activity to what the person can safely and meaningfully do. It won’t alter a medical diagnosis, and it wouldn’t make sense to remove all components because the goal is to preserve the meaningful task while reducing barriers. If there’s no effect, that would indicate the adaptation didn’t address the person’s specific barriers.
