You are working with a client on increasing community living skills, specifically grocery shopping. You initiated this treatment by setting up a mock grocery store in your clinic. However, you realized this is not the best way for the individual to develop these skills. You modify the activity and start doing the intervention at the individual's preferred neighborhood grocery store. This allows the individual to practice and you to role model the activity as well as identify barriers and supports needed for the individual to be successful. Which intervention approach does this scenario best reflect?

The scenario describes the use of situated learning to increase community living skills. This approach involves learning through participation in real-life activities and situations, rather than simulated environments. By modifying the activity to take place in the individual's preferred neighborhood grocery store, they are given the opportunity to engage in a real-life situation where they can practice and learn these skills, while also identifying the supports and barriers that may impact their success in this activity.
