Mapping charts and communication devices that have tactile symbols of
scheduling have been good mental organizers.  If you can give me the
specific problem areas (as the sleep issue already listed) I may have some
strategies for you.

Hi everyone,

 

Has anyone worked with any children who are moderate to severe autistic as
well as having light perception.  I have a ten year old who is autistic had
a TSS received intensive schooling and training year round and is generally
a good kid.

 

His parents aren't quite sure what the Rt can do for their child and I am
racking my brain for thoughts and ideas.

 

We settled on time, a clock, and keychain clock, and making his bed, and
posiblity assisting with other chores.  they also want a programmable cue
system, for example if he wakes up early it might remind him to go back to
bed, but I don't know of such a thing.

 

Does anyone have any ideas or good resources?
