He'll often want to wear the same article of clothing over and over and we work on varying his clothes---just another way to practise flexibility.<BR/><BR/>I always had the same response as you about PECS--that we should just be teaching actual speech. From many conversations with ABA and speech therapists, and from listening to and watching Charlie, I've learned that PECS (and/or other visual stimuli) can be a powerful way to prompt speech and build in communication skills. We did add some verbal behavior programming to Charlie's therapies when he was 4 and that really helped a lot with his expressive speech. With Charlie, we've always had to try everything.kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104388229716638534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425654.post-1142880325257741132006-03-20T13:45:00.000-05:002006-03-20T13:45:00.000-05:00Henry's gone to school LOTS of times in school pan...Henry's gone to school LOTS of times in school pants and a pajama shirt. Some days changing his shirt is just too much for him to bear. At this point I couldn't really care less if it looks silly, and obviously Henry cares even less than I do. Sometimes I put the school shirt on OVER the pj shirt...<BR/><BR/>Henry also likes to get physical with the TV!<BR/><BR/>It's really great that Oliver can dress and undress! Henry still doesn't like to, and I am an enabler.<BR/><BR/>I'm a few days late on this. Hope Oliver is feeling all better by now.gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16104742026667801816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425654.post-1142691641098107852006-03-18T09:20:00.000-05:002006-03-18T09:20:00.000-05:00Tobin had a mysterious illness a couple of weeks a...Tobin had a mysterious illness a couple of weeks ago. About 3 days of high fever, and zeven after the fever broke she was lethargic and clingy. (Oh so clingy!) <BR/><BR/>If it helps at all, Tobin can't tell me what's wrong when she's sick either. She'll just cry until I'm able to guess.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131149587708735242noreply@blogger.com
