[QUOTE="buddy, post: 574672, member: 12886"] I think as usual your gut is telling you what's wrong here. We teach choices and flexibility slowly and positively by laying out the choices on a choice board, putting them either in a short sequence or using a first_________ then________ board. What goes in "first" is highly do-able and not one of the known struggles when we start to teach this...... (What goes in "then" is what he loves or wants....like the hulk). I still use first....then......verbally sometimes with q. Just my two cents. by the way, this is all based on kids who dont do well with abstract and need high structure, concrete procedures. So, for the choice board start with only two things then build up. Keep super high interest things off or they'll pick that. Have a separate board for the then choices (things you knoe theyll love) when starting this.... it eventually can be used by you......putting for example, first bath then story or first math then cookie. if a.child gets stuck in whatever task they do you can add a visual timer (which are sold as apps now) so they have to either stop when it ends or for soyme kids they use that toy or do that activity at least for the time you set. (start low then if it's a choice they don't like to do long) LOL I keep editing this...... If a child keeps picking the same things you can use a bag to pick choices or a spinner board with pics all around in a circle. [/QUOTE]
