Which of the following is NOT an activity that could be used for community-based instruction?

• A. Grocery shopping
• B. Walk in a park
• C. Reading restaurant menus
• D. Riding public transportation

Answer: (B)

Community-based instruction centers on teaching practical, real-life skills in authentic settings so students can participate in daily community life with independence. Tasks like grocery shopping require budgeting, decision making, and interacting with store staff; reading restaurant menus builds literacy, communication, and choice-making in a dining context; and riding public transportation teaches route planning, safety, safety, and navigation in real-world transit scenarios. A walk in a park, while beneficial for safety and physical activity, doesn’t inherently engage the kinds of community systems or functional tasks that transfer to independent living in the community. It’s more of a recreational activity than a structured, transferable community skill practice. That’s why walking in a park isn’t typically used for community-based instruction.
