moving from sign to pecs to sign again help!

[Guest guest]

hi all

i have been posting lately to get help with my program for a child

with significant receptive skills and very little expressive. I

would like to teach sign, try it again (scrolling huge problem

before) but am unsure of some things. First i believe that trying

pecs was a good idea, but we are not any better off with it and

given my sons constantly changing and sometimes non existent EO sign

may be a good switch. so........

My son has about 25 pictures in book. We had about 25 signs (action

signs which he still uses, and lots of tangible items before) Now

he has several kinds of chips, cookies etc in book so how do i teach

cookie discriminate which one, oreo, nutter butter? I dont think i

could do two signs together but i could have the bag of each cookies

or picture and have him sign and then pick one? Dont know, has

anyone done this or seen it done? If so would you please post or

email me privately?

Also I want to keep some good data to show that sign again is or is

not helping more. Other than number of mands (which was about 400-

600 now 100 on a good day), what else would be best to check.

Number of times scrolling per day? Number of independent mands?

Thanks again!
