--- or when a little boy was asked at snack time " do you want banana or apple? "

He said clear as a bell " banana? " and then made to give a picture,

he gave them a picture of apple,

guess what he got....

yup an apple.........

as i said in my first post,it is frightening how pecs is not used correctly

,often confused

with picture schedules,then the kids are blamed for being too severe. Some of

our kids

require 100s of opportunities ,daily ,to practise before they get the concept of

asking.
