Scope: General NHS guidance. The page uses an explicitly illustrative jacket example; supported zip pulling is distinct from independent dressing.

  "startingObservation": "Child wants to try but has difficulty lining up the two zip parts while standing.",
  "adaptation": "Comfortable supported sitting, a larger pull and an adult connecting the zip at the bottom, chosen with the OT.",
  "practice": "Child tries pulling up the zip with needed help; unhurried, with permission to ask for help or stop.",
  "familyObservation": "With the jacket on, seated and with an adult starting the zip, my child pulled it up using the larger pull.",
  "reviews": [
    "If pulling remains difficult, the OT may adjust the pull, position or amount of help.",
    "If it works in that setting, discuss a suitable next step or familiar setting and observe support and comfort again."
  ],
  "scope": "Illustrative, not a patient result or individual recommendation; one supported step does not establish independent dressing."
