Goal: ask an answerable design question and distinguish a wish from a tested finding. Proposed codes: AC9EFLY02, AC9EFLY05, AC9EFLY06. Prepare: C, Card 148, blank paper design mat; use a fictional case if no safe model.

  1. Oral/print · 3 min. Child segments spoken sit; show taught print only after sounds. Adult reads design words.
  2. Listen · 4 min. Reread C and ask what the stand needed to do; show a large paper card, no personal object.
  3. Model · 5 min. Contrast “Can this stand hold this card for five slow counts?” with “Is this the best stand?” The first names a checkable condition.
  4. Child try · 7 min. Choose library label, maker display or paper theatre; child asks one neutral, testable question and selects drawing, model or AAC route for a proposed change.
  5. Check · 4 min. Adult says “I think it will stand” without testing. Child classifies prediction versus observation and suggests a safe next test.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Child names what would count as passing the stated test. Record question quality, not fluency of speech.
