DI 25210.025 Unusual Settings - Policy (Section 416.924a(b)(6))
Children may function differently in unfamiliar or one-to-one settings than they do
in their usual settings at home, at school, in childcare or in the community. You
may appear more or less impaired on a single examination (such as a consultative examination)
than indicated by the information covering a longer period. Therefore, we will apply
the guidance in DI 25210.020 when we consider how you function in an unusual or one-to-one situation. We will
look at your performance in a special situation and at your typical day-to-day functioning
in routine situations. We will not draw inferences about your functioning in other
situations based only on how you function in a one-to-one, new, or unusual situation.
