What is the role of the therapist during an ACIS observation? a. To observe and intervene only if social action breaks down. b. To provide feedback throughout the observation. c. To evaluate the client's response e to verbal instructions. d. To guide the client actively through the interaction.

The correct answer is a. To observe and intervene only if social interaction breaks down.<br /><br />During an ACIS (Assessment of Communication and Interaction Skills) observation, the therapist's role is to observe the client's communication and interaction skills without intervening. The therapist should remain neutral and not provide any feedback or guidance during the observation. The therapist's role is to observe the client's natural communication and interaction patterns and identify any areas where the client may be struggling or where social interaction breaks down. If the therapist notices any issues, they may intervene to provide support or guidance.
