Hi All:My son (age 7, AS, AD, ADHD, OCD, SPD, OMG) has a lot of trouble with his morning routine. Before his Vyvanse kicks in, he has a hard time staying on task with getting dressed, brushing teeth, etc. He'll start to go to the next task, get distracted, and I'll find him staring out the window at the birds or something else totally off-task.He does well with task lists at school, so I am going to start a morning task list on a clipboard for him. We would sit down the night before and list all the things he needs to do tomorrow morning, i.e. get dressed, brush teeth, pack lunch, assemble karate gear, etc.So here's my question - would it be okay for me to give him $1 as a reward for completing his whole task list by the time we leave for school? Normally I don't like to use money as a reward, but he is learning about money in school and he's great at saving for things he wants. We have gotten past the "Hey

mom will you buy me that?" and moved on to "Do I have enough money saved for that?" And he does think hard before blowing his savings on things. He will even decide not to buy something if he feels it is too expensive.Please let me know your opinions about my task list/reward idea. I'm open to all suggestions.Thanks!Patti
