    3. Ask the student the other-perception question “What can I (therapist) see?”
    4. If the student gives an incorrect response. Ask him/her to come to your side and identify what can be seen in your side.
    5. Ask the student to go back to his/her original place and ask the other-perception question
    6. Not matter the student gives correct or incorrect answer. It is always good to explain the principle to him/her that people do not always see the same thing.
