But, usually, I am in a hurry, or there are so many folks waiting at the elevator, that we don't get consistant practice. I think I have actually done more luring than anything else to help her find the button. Will try your suggestion, especially around the house. Try a medical building after 5pm.. mine is always dead and you can play with the elevators all you want! That's where Alex learned to find elevators and electric doors.. Start with a bigger piece of paper and holding it in your hand.. then work to holding it against a wall or doorknob..and then tear some pieces off as you go until it is post-it size.. then start using the post its on the buttons outside in the yard, then out on the street..and then get them smaller until you can fade them out..people may laugh when you first use the post-its in public.. I just explain and they are amazed..
