- Simulated online shopping: follow a shopping list, compare prices, check item requirements, manage a budget, review a cart, handle substitutions, and complete a structured checkout sequence.

Practice a shopping scenario
Start with a grocery list and budget. Ask the client to find the requested items, compare options, review the cart, and complete simulated checkout. Adjust hints and task supports to suit the session, then discuss missed items, budget decisions, sequencing, and corrections. This gives therapists a functional context for observing performance and planning further practice.
When choosing an IADL practice tool, consider the tasks your clients need, the support they require, and how each activity fits your session. STRIVE lets you observe task steps and discuss errors and strategies without using real financial accounts.

Functional technology tasks provide opportunities to practice attention, working memory, executive functioning, sequencing, multi-step problem-solving, and digital literacy.

These activities support clinical observation and rehabilitation practice; they are not presented as a standardized assessment or a substitute for professional judgment.
