Hello,
My DS1 is in year 6 and has a dx of ASD. He has been given plenty of work to do by school. However, he is completely refusing to do anything without me sitting next to him giving him the answers.
I bought some of the CPG ten minute work books in an attempt to give him short, not too intimidating pieces of work to do. I asked him to just read one of the very short passages in the reading book while I helped DS2 with something, adn I would come and look at the questions with him. He refused to even read the passage without me sitting next to him.
Today he was supposed to do an English task set by school. He was asked to write a sentence with a preposition in it. I asked if he knew what a preposition was. He said no, so I wrote down a list of them. I asked if he could use one in a sentence. He said no. I asked if he could tell me something that he could be behind, underneath etc He said no. I asked what we do with a trampoline. He said he didn't know. I ended up just dictating sentences for him to copy down.
I realize that creative writing does something he enjoys or finds easy. I just want to help him to gain the basic skills he needs. How do I encourage him to think a bit and do some work independently?
Thank you
