# T11 · Who made the change?

“What changed, and who did it?”

**Stop first:** Stop the added offer immediately for a known no/stop, discomfort, withdrawal of interest or uncertainty. Keep ordinary care and usual supports available; no repeated signal, clearer reply or restart is owed.

**Setup and free swap:** One existing suitable lightweight play item on its normal clear stable level surface, well away from an edge, only where already permitted. No ramp, launch, aiming game or new physical exercise. With no object, use an actual welcomed adult word/gesture and its agreed reply.

## Common agreement for every route

Use an awake, comfortable, wanted moment in the child's usual supported setting with a familiar caring adult. Keep the child's body and usual communication/supports as they are. Do not manufacture distress, withhold a comfort item or necessary help, reposition the child, guide their body, demand eye contact, lure reaching/tracking, test hearing, or ask for touch/speech/imitating to make the offer work.

An optional object is **one existing large, intact, familiar, non-powered play item already judged appropriate for this individual child and setting under its actual instructions, age labelling, condition and current recall information**. “Large” alone is no safety clearance. No object is required. No small loose pieces, detachable parts, food, water, tools, tight lids, bags, cords, magnets, batteries, foam, glass, raised ramps, lights, covering faces or surprise reveals are introduced. No child handling of paper; any print stays adult-held away from mouth/reach. Adults maintain normal supervision and unobstructed access. These offers certify no material or setup.

Use known home words, established signs/AAC and family-informed supports. A competent familiar speaker may use their own language; this pack supplies no translation, invented gesture dictionary, cultural story or First Nations language claim. The adult can speak, sign/communicate through established supports, act silently if accessible, or stay quietly available. Quiet does not remove usual communication access.

**Stop rule:** respond to a known no/stop, discomfort, withdrawal of interest or uncertainty by stopping the added offer and returning to ordinary familiar care/play. Never keep testing until a clearer answer appears. No new touch, sound or movement is used to obtain evidence. A restart needs current willingness. Necessary routine transitions remain adult responsibilities, with a familiar explanation; child participation is not required for tidying or ending care.

## If this contribution is wanted

**Play and choice:** The child may choose an ordinary comfortable contact, direct a willing adult, leave the item still or invent without acting. Describe an actual motion if it occurs. Ask the opening once only if useful; the child can choose a different purpose, such as enjoying a toy's appearance. Do not repeat a push to obtain an explanation.

**Three routes:** (1) Child-chosen ordinary item action with immediate adult help available; no target distance/force. (2) Child directs an adult small action; operator stays adult. (3) No object: choose a small actual communication exchange, or leave an imagined action unmade; no physical cause claim.

**Notice/next/stop:** Name contact, consequence and actor only when observed. A toy already moving before contact is not evidence that the contact started it. If cause is unclear, name it as unclear and next time attend to an ordinary event without staging it. Stop any unwanted movement/commentary.
