Since Felix is very young and does not know how to behave safely in his environment. So you would adapt the therapy room by blocking off all equipment - except for the item you want to use with Felix at a particular time. Rewards for safe behavior may be used at some point, but the reward system must be taught to Felix before it will be effective.
