Teaching dailing living skills --- was Re: How many parents still...

[Guest guest]

As an early intervention therapist and private consultant for young

kids w/ asd's, my view of what kids learn to do has a short time

line. I'm surprised to learn how much assistance so many children

still need later on.

I am always interested in parents' perspectives to learn what might

be helpful to add into my work. I would be very interested in

hearing what your experiences were with EI, school systems, or

private clinicians to teach your children to be more independent.

Has anyone tried a picture schedule to teach routines for daily

living skills? If so, was it helpful?

, did you learn about task analysis (breaking down a skill to

small parts) and token reinforcement (sticker charts) on your own or

were you taught by someone? Do you use backward chaining?

Cheers,

Hope
