[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 504916, member: 11847"] Have you tried to make a visual schedule? Do it for the most challenging part of the day: morning routine? Little picture and a few words: "Mommy wakes me up" along with a little guy in bed; "Mommy call my name and I get out of bed" little guy standing next to bed"; "I take my pj's off"; "I put my underwear on" "my pants" "my shirt" "my socks"; "I eat breakfast", etc... Keep it step by step and don't expect him to follow it at first. You just start reading before going to bed and talk about it. Then you start reading it when he wakes up, lead him every step, etc... It is a process, specially if he has never done it before. It has worked wonders with V. Don't tackle all the issues at once and allow time to see the results. When we first starter the visual schedule, it took a good 2 weeks for V to embrass it. Another idea would be a social story. Maybe "how to get ready in the morning". Along with text and picture, you explain the expected routine step by step. And you explain why it has to happen a certain way. One of the pages could be "I can't take too long to get out of bed. If it takes too much time, I might be late for school and I would miss some fun." Or whatever explanation he might understand and appreciate. Once again, he might not embrass the social story right away. Read it, talk about it, take it easy. V, at first, would get really mad about it. Now he knows what it is. When I write a new one, I usually don't get any feedback at first. Just a blank stare. The key is to keep using it even if he zones out. Eventually V starts talking about it and puts it into practice. Right now we are working on "how to say bye" and, slowly, saying bye is becoming easier. We've been on this issue since September, started the story 2 weeks ago. I already see progress. Do you have any kind of therapy for him? I think he has speech, but what about Occupational Therapist (OT), behavioral, has he seen a neuro-psychiatric ? [/QUOTE]
