use daily and across settings. a MUST to releive anxiety.

This is apart of the sign language for us that her speech therapist recommended. It is going okay, but she does not stick to it.

I keep a loose routine and found my son enjoyed a little structure in his day but offering change help him deal with the unexpected.

Used when he was very young.

they have done this w/ him at school since day one basically and i think it has been pretty helpful. i've tried doing this at home and it doesn't work quite as well, however, i have always felt that our home is not organized and structured enough, to be honest.

Used extensively/ successfully in my school.

VERY effective for children to increase communication skills.

I use PECS as well as other picture schedules...it is HIGHLY reccommended, as children with Autism are total visual learners.

Must Have

Though, at first it may seem like this isn't working...don't give up...they will love it and gain some independence, if used correctly.
