  2. Use of Ecological Inventory • Typical activities • Steps in activity • Skills required • What child does • Basis of difference • Supports and adaptations

  3. Typical Preschool Schedule • Arrival and free play • Circle time (calendar, songs) • Centers (art, house, blocks, cooking) • Bathroom • Snack • Outside play • Story time • Closing circle
