Accepted Answer

Since Carl has a severe disability, it may take longer for him to learn the skill of getting lunch independently. Therefore, measuring progress at least once a week will give Mr. Santos a good idea of how much progress Carl has made in acquiring the skill. Measuring progress in every lesson may not be effective as some lessons may not show a significant change in Carl's progress. Measuring progress prior to beginning instruction and after it has ended will only show the overall progress and not sequential progress over time. Measuring progress twice a week may be too frequent and may not show significant progress in a short time.
