Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 pill swallowing My autistic 8 year old will swallow any kinds of tablets and capsules, but we are having trouble with our 12 year old NT daughter. While polling friends for suggestions I have heard to try mini M & Ms while drinking a liquid through a straw. I haven't tried it, and it would be difficult with the different diets our kids are on, but hopefully it might help someone!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Thanks everyone! All your ideas are awesome! The straw technique was what they taught at the DAN conference last year. I wasn't sure my daughter would understand. Now that she's reading, we may try a combo of that, the honey and the pecs...lol. I'll let you know how it goes. I think she would be happy if she understood that she didn't have to taste that nasty enhansa anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
