[QUOTE="buddy, post: 592101, member: 12886"] My son had a brilliant Occupational Therapist (OT) who finally got him to learn. She adapted a program designed for people with one hand. I think at first the right and left side of the lace were differently colored too. It was crazy...if i can think of it (sorry, a long time ago) I'll post it. But like handwriting without tears for learning how to write (after nothing else worked) thus too was a slam dunk. I bet both the exhaustion plus his rule being violated were factors. It's often that they lose it over "the last straw". On top of it all, she was not his routine therapist and he had worked hard to do the things that usually caused a meltdown... For turn taking....a visual, for example a bean bag with a Mayer-Johnson or similar symbol for "your turn" stuck/velcroed on and passed to each person when it is their turn helps. (I wouldn't make it green, smile)...can use any object..popsicle stick, heavy stock paper, whatever. Overall, sounds like he does work hard.....may want to end sessions with a sensory integrating activity like a swing, squish pile of pillows, deep pressure, etc.... [/QUOTE]
