[QUOTE="lady, post: 107363, member: 4360"] Well -Hi to any one still reading this thread. I finally found an answer that is actually working. Although i have really appreciated all of your answers and have found quite a few helpful hints. I especially appreciate the time and sensitivity some of you took to respond, I know everyone is very busy. Bob tears up pictures so I had originally limited the pictures I posted for him to communicate with. Now I have laminated and added strength to all the pictures with wood, cardboard or posterboard and continuously correct if he tries to use them as a comfort zone instead of communication -and posted all of them. Just a short while ago we had to use objects because he did not understand pictures -he has come so far so fast. Long story short, he is happier in general now (and I keep all the pictures on my computer so I can re-create them if he destroys them). thats a part of a general change in mood I googled "Behavior modification" and realized what the school should have done, what I should have done. But the answers weren't all there for me. Much of the answers just sort of came. The results of the google amongst some other searches have helped me to brainstorm. General rewards and special charts did not work before because he could not grasp it (it took me 3 years to teach him what the words "potty" & "bath" meant). But he has come so far so fast, I decided it was time to teach him even if he did not figure it out in a reasonable amount of time. Low and behold, he has so improved that he is getting it.
