[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 259846, member: 6546"] Hi JLady-- My difficult child can also repeat back all of the things she is "supposed" to be learning from therapy....but there is no applying any of it in real life. She sits on the couch during session with a blank look on her face, as though nothing being said has anything to do with her. I actually thought that maybe she was being reticent because I was in the room....so on more than one occasion I have offered to leave and give difficult child and therapist some privacy--but difficult child always says "[I]No, I don't know the answers to any of her questions anywa[/I]y..." The most helpful kind of therapy that my daughter has ever experienced is group therapy where the kids do role-playing activities. For example, if you saw a couple of kids playing basketball and you wanted to play, too--how would you go about it? If you call someone a name, how are they likely to feel? If someone was standing in your way, what are the possible ways to get them to move? What way seems to work out best? Etc Etc VERY HELPFUL!!! Unfortunately....most of these programs have been getting cut in my area due to budget/economic constraints. Perhaps this is more of the type of therapy that your son needs? Less talking and more application? Just a suggestion... --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
