Any number he names is a number but odds are > it won't be the number I want. This sounds like a recipe for torture. How about, " How to kill a good VB program in 20 trials " ? Why don't you just play a game to see how many he can come up with, rather than raise the bar to mind reading? Is mind reading an ABLLS goal? You are allowed to use your common sense--which you hint that you would like to do. Go with that instinct. Of course give as many clues as you would give a typical child who you want to mind read! I think that answering with variation and using his own inferences based on your verbal clues is a much more rewarding and appropriate goal than mind reading. Sorry to be brusque here, but just because you are relying on an assessment tool (which is wonderful), doesn't mean you must suspend your obviously good judgement. Trust yourself. t Burk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
