[quote=Anonymous]In addressing life skills and preparing our child for the real world, we used a watch with alerts ipad w alerts, and now his phone w alarms (lots of structured and visual reminders in place). In addition we have an AM/PM weekly meds box that we fill and have taught our child what each med is, what it looks like, etc. We still monitor and set verbal reminders /prompts but our child is a pre-teen now and we've been doing this for a number of years to ensure our child has a good understanding of the medications and their importance and ultimately, it will be his responsibility for his health. Of course, each child is different and medications are different and has to be weighed. [/quote]
