Which of the following scenarios exemplifies "Parallel Task" in the ACIS? a. A group working together on a shared activity. b. A one-on -one simulated interaction with the therapist. c. A client performing an individual task near others in the same workspace. d. A client interacting in an unstructured setting.

The correct answer is c. A client performing an individual task near others in the same workspace.<br /><br />In the ACIS (Assessment of Communication and Interaction Skills) framework, a "Parallel Task" refers to a situation where an individual is performing a task independently but in close proximity to others. This allows the individual to observe and learn from others without direct interaction. Option c accurately describes this scenario, where a client is working on an individual task near others, which aligns with the definition of a parallel task in the ACIS framework.
