Guest guest Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi- my son is 13 and I find a visual checklist works with him. For high functioning, it helps to have them make their own visual. Discuss the why's of the hygiene- make it as relevant as possible- no body likes to be told 'because' or some other similar comment- especially our guys. Post it in the bathroom and have guide posts. Ours is 'I can watch TV after all my checklist is done' and stick to it. I have my son recite it every day- I prompt him with 'when can you watch TV?' And he recites it. Once it's routine, just try to change him :-)! But, that's what our guys need- a routine they can depend on. Personally, I'd revisit the IEP thing- do you have a local ARC? It's important that school and home work together, even if the behaviors are just seen at home. Get someone else on board to advocate with you, they speak the language the school personnel do and can get more done than just us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
