Curriculum

These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.

• partial: Wait for things they want without becoming very distressed — practising patience and delayed gratification in everyday situations like waiting their turn, waiting for a treat, or waiting for help

  Bounded objective and prepared task only; all examples, universal claims and real-world behaviour are not established. Never withhold food, toilet access, comfort, help or essential communication. Real waiting without reminders is conditional; calm compliance is not the goal.

• partial: Wait for their turn in a game or activity without constant complaints

  Only optional role-play; no genuine independent turn wait observed.

• partial: Describe what they do to help themselves wait, such as thinking about something else

  A fictional plan replaces self-report of an established strategy.

• opportunity: Explain why sometimes we have to wait and that it is a skill they can practise

  Prompt provides a reason for occasional waiting with alternatives.

• partial: If {{name}} has to wait their turn for something they really want — like a go on the iPad or being served dinner — can they wait without a big fuss?

  Prepared adapted check is not a complete equivalent to all source contexts, images or genuine independent habits. Never withhold food, toilet access, comfort, help or essential communication. Real waiting without reminders is conditional; calm compliance is not the goal.
