[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I'm reading from your post is that your DS has a routine, but part of that routine is the external cues from you to move from one thing to another. So this is an issue of getting yourself, your cues, out of his routine. He needs to learn to shift from one task to another and make that part of his routine. Your'e going to have to wean him from your cues. The first step in this is to keep the cue, but to get rid of the content in that cue. So instead of "did you get your math done?" it would be, "What else needs to be done?" So they make that jump to math, not you. Not "do you have your jacket?" but "What else do you need?" and stand there and wait for him to figure it out. At the beginning, you're standing by the jackets, LOL (and not "do you have everything" because he'll just say yes) [/quote] NP here, wanted to say this was good food for thought. [/quote]
