Which situation requires seeking guidance from supervisor?

• A. If unsure about lifting/transfers or procedures.
• B. When finishing early.
• C. When the student asks for help with something trivial.
• D. When the classroom is loud.

Answer: (A)

Safety and proper procedure are the focus here. You should seek guidance from your supervisor whenever you’re unsure about lifting or transferring a student or about how to carry out a procedure. This is about preventing injuries and ensuring you’re following the district’s rules and the student’s plan. If you don’t know the correct technique, or if a step in a procedure isn’t clear, ask for clarification before acting.

Finishing early isn’t a safety issue demanding supervisor input, handling a request that’s clearly routine isn’t a red flag, and a loud classroom environment doesn’t by itself require escalation. The key moment is uncertainty about how to perform a lift, transfer, or procedure safely and correctly.
