Some of my clients are on the spectrum. Some clues and hints: <BR/>*Always have sharpened pencils on hand, some with edges (like Ticonderoga) and some round. <BR/>*Kneaded Rubber Erasers please many, and double as a fidget. <BR/>*Lots of different sitting surfaces -- a regular chair, an exercise ball, a wedge thing I got when I broke my tailbone, a slighly inflated disc, a wobble board that's small enough to put on a chair.<BR/>*letter and number tiles to use in answering questions--I like to get around the handwriting difficulties so many AS kids experience<BR/>*Lots of different kinds of manipulatives to use in math.<BR/>*Note to self--I've got to get a 10-key adding machine -- again with getting lots of math experience while skating by the handwriting issues. Calculators can be great, but I want a paper trail of thinking.Liz Ditzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455722013211350247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-57725207908390107382008-07-30T10:13:00.000-07:002008-07-30T10:13:00.000-07:00We don't walk out the house unless my son has his ...We don't walk out the house unless my son has his MP3 player. He loves music. It has really come in handy when he has a melt down and need a few moments to himself.Contessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291325355060802246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-89822916818128670892008-07-30T08:20:00.000-07:002008-07-30T08:20:00.000-07:00I wonder which of us would have the longest list!I...I wonder which of us would have the longest list!<BR/><BR/>I'd include a box of Sharpies [double ended fine and thick just for versatility] Mine can read now [I'll try not to get distracted by the hyperlexia / losing the ability to read at all, as PECS always help]<BR/><BR/>however, I wrote warnings on the crazy [American!!!] light switches. One was for the light [a lightbulb icon] and one, the one right next to it, was the air extractor. If they hit the air extractor by accident it was like an air raid siren went off!<BR/><BR/>Sorry...rambling.<BR/>CheersMaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828186178060722812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-51689234308924809072008-07-30T07:11:00.000-07:002008-07-30T07:11:00.000-07:00Good points, all.Good points, all.Jenny, the Bloggesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718481135182612620noreply@blogger.com
