This article argues for an empathetic, holistic approach to task analysis skills, formerly perceived as components of behavioural teaching approaches. It suggests that analysis of behaviours and contexts may lead to more appropriate presentation of information to clients with multiple disabilities. The Martian dinner party game is a training exercise supporting the practice of analytical skills in a context allowing discussion of factors affecting their use.
