If I had needed to leave quickly that day, I would have helped him get dressed using my hands as gently as possible and calmly applying the sportscasting technique mentioned earlier: “Are you having a hard time getting dressed? You can dress yourself, or I can help you. I see I’ll need to help you. Yes, you are pulling your arm away. You don’t want to put it in. I’m gently putting your T-shirt over your head. You are trying to push it off. Thanks for telling me that this is difficult.”
