(I've name changed for this - I've been clogging up the forum with ABA threads for the past month)
We had our consultant visit & spend the day with ds & us. We'll see him again in the next couple of weeks & he'll send us a report & plan.
DS has major avoidance issues. We're working on gross motor imitation, he imitates well (picking up signs rapidly) but not to command, so it's an exercise in compliance. The vague plan is that we move from gross motor imitation to oro-motor to vocal imitation (ds' biggest deficit is language).
We're pretty much doing it ourselves atm, ds is vaguely more cooperative & we've had a couple of unprompted successes - but nothing consistent. It is supposed to be errorless so I'm doing instruction ... pause ... physical prompt ... reinforce (I'm trying to do it differentially so the less strongly I have to prompt the greater the reward).
Has anyone got an heartening stories of non-complaint children being won over ... how long did it take?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
