[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 116440, member: 3388"] Heather, Thanks for posting this!!! I'm struggling with teaching difficult child 2 independent living skills. I'm getting some good ideas right along with you from all those who have responded. difficult child 2 is extremely disorganized, cannot multi-task at all, is extremely S L O W in doing everything, lacks common sense, and needs constant reminders to stay on task. Trying to teach him simple things makes me absolutely CRAZY!!! easy child is typing up a step by step list of how to clean the bathroom, complete with which products to use for the sink, toilet, shower, etc... I'm going to laminate the list and hang it in the bathroom. difficult child 2 is going to watch easy child clean the bathroom next weekend. She will explain everything to him in simple, short sentences. difficult child 2 will watch her do this for several weeks with her explaining everything. Then, we'll have difficult child 2 try to do the first task on the list. When he completes that task satisfactorily, we'll try to move on to the next one. It is a very draining and tiring process!!! I don't know how I'm going to be able to maintain the patience necessary for this...(This is one of the reasons I asked easy child to help me. She is good with difficult child 2 and doesn't mind.) I could go on and on and on...BUT this is your post. I've been pressing for Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) to be added in his IEP. The SD is supposed to provide Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) by law. Even though your difficult child is being home schooled, is there any way you could get your SD to enroll your difficult child in any sort of an Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) program? It might be worth looking into. Sending lots of hugs, strength, and patience as I know how difficult this is!!! WFEN [/QUOTE]
